Description
A HISTORY BOOK CLUB BESTSELLER "True crime fans will relish this thoughtful look at a
murder and its aftermath that riveted a nation." — Publisher's Weekly book review "There
may be no two more addicting topics to people right now than politics and true crime.
Star Spangled Scandal delves into both of these—with a heavy dose of sex added in."
— NPR book review “… and sir I do assure you he has as much the use of your wife as you
have.” — From an anonymous note delivered to Congressman Daniel Sickles on February 24,
1859 It is two years before the Civil War, and Congressman Daniel Sickles and his lovely wife
Teresa are popular fixtures in Washington, D.C. society. Their house sits on Lafayette Square
across from White House grounds, and the president himself is godfather to the Sickles’ six-yearold
daughter. Because Congressman Sickles is frequently out of town, he trusts his friend, U.S.
Attorney Philip Barton Key—son of Francis Scott Key—to escort the beautiful Mrs. Sickles to
parties in his absence. Revelers in D.C. are accustomed to the sight of the congressman’s wife
with the tall, Apollo-like Philip Barton Key, who is considered “the handsomest man in all
Washington society… foremost among the popular men of the capital.” Then one day an
anonymous note sets into motion a tragic course of events that culminates in a shocking
murder in broad daylight in Lafayette Square. This is the riveting true story of the murder and
trial that sparked a national debate on madness, male honor, female virtue, fidelity, and the rule of
law. Bestselling author Chris DeRose (The Presidents’ War) uses diary entries, letters, newspaper
accounts, and eyewitness testimonies to bring the characters to thrilling life in this antebellum true
crime history.
