Inhalt
Andrew Haswell Green is dead, shot at the venerable age of 83, when he thought life could hold no more surprises. The killing - on Park Avenue, in broad daylight, on Friday the 13th - shook the city. Green was born to a poor farmer, yet without him there would be no Central Park, no Metropolitan Museum of Art, no Museum of Natural History, no New York Public Library. And Green had a secret, a life locked within him that now, in the hour of his death - alone, misunderstood - is set to break free. As the detective assigned to Green's case chases his ghost across the city, we meet a wealthy courtesan, a brokenhearted man in a bowler hat, and a lawyer turned politician whose decades-long friendship with Green is the source of both his troubles and his joys. A work of tremendous depth and piercing emotion, »The Great Mistake« is the story of a city transformed, a murder that made a private man infamous, and a portrait of a singular individual who found the world closed off to him - yet enlarged it.
