In October 1931, a station agent found two large trunks
abandoned in Los Angeles's Southern Pacific Station. What he
found inside ignited one of the most scandalous tabloid
sensations of the decade.
Inspired by this notorious true
crime, Edgar®-winning author Megan Abbott's novel Bury Me
Deep is the story of Marion Seeley, a young woman
abandoned in Phoenix by her doctor husband. At the medical
clinic where she finds a job, Marion becomes fast friends
with Louise, a vivacious nurse, and her roommate, Ginny, a
tubercular blonde. Before long, the demure Marion is swept
up in the exuberant life of the girls, who supplement their
scant income by entertaining the town's most powerful men
with wild parties. At one of these events, Marion meets --
and falls hard for -- the charming Joe Lanigan, a local
rogue and politician on the rise, whose ties to all three
women bring events to a dangerous collision.
A story born
of Jazz Age decadence and Depression-era desperation,
Bury Me Deep -- with its hothouse of jealousy,
illicit sex and shifting loyalties -- is a timeless portrait
of the dark side of desire and the glimmer of redemption.
