By Peter Gilbertson

Book Overview

The Gilded Frame is an historical mystery set in New Jersey's Bernardsville Mountain Colony, 1912-13, where wealthy, famous, and powerful New Yorkers established country estates around the turn of the 20th century.
Kitt and Polly fall in love during a fox hunt, but their romance is put on hold when her brother reveals he is homosexual. Shocked and wounded by the news, their father wants to disinherit him. Dying of cancer and on heavy doses of morphine, however, his competence to do so is questionable.
When their pater is found dead of a massive overdose, Polly's brother is the most likely suspect and is arrested for the crime. The most reluctant of detectives, Kitt must unravel the truth if he wants to save the day and win the hand of his lady.
Meticulously researched, The Gilded Frame weaves an imaginary tale into a time and place rich in character and splendor-A mystery in history.
