The Sword of Damocles. A Story of New York Life

One of detective fiction master Anna Katharine Greens earlier novels, The Sword of Damocles combines a budding romance set against the backdrop of New York Citys hustle and bustle with a beguiling mystery. Here, the author tells the story of early 1900s lovers facing many of the moral dilemmas from that era. Greens best-known creation, master detective Ebenezer Gryce, makes a cameo appearance on the scene.
