New York City, 1911. Edith Wharton, almost equally famed for her novels and for her sharp tongue, is bone-tired of Manhattan. Finding herself at a crossroads in both her marriage and her writing, she makes the decision to leave America, her publisher, and her loveless relationship.
And then, dashing novelist David Graham Phillips—a writer with often notorious ideas about society and women's place in it—is shot to death outside the Princeton Club. Edith herself net the man only once, when the two formed a mutual distaste over tea in the Palm Garden of the Belmont Hotel.
When Phillips is killed, Edith's life takes another turn. His sister believes he was murdered by someone determined to stop the publication of his next book, which promised to uncover secrets that powerful people would rather stayed hidden. Though unconvinced, Edith is curious. What kind of book could drive someone to kill?
Inspired by a true story, The Wharton Plot follows renowned novelist Edith Wharton through the twilight years of the Gilded Age in a city she once loved so well, telling a taut tale of fame, love, and murder, as she becomes obsessed with solving a crime.
