Produktbeschreibung
A shocking true crime story of wealth, passion, and murder in the playground of New York's superrich.

On October 22, 2001, multimillionaire financier Ted Ammon was found bludgeoned to death in his magnificent East Hampton mansion. His wife, Generosa, stood to inherit millions, but her history of violent outbursts and bizarre obsessions made her the prime suspect.

Generosa, a talented decorator, had fashioned a lavish lifestyle for her family, divided between Fifth Avenue, the Long Island estate, and an English manor house. However, when she discovered Ted's mistress, her demons were unleashed. She began a very public affair with her electrician, Danny Pelosi, an ex-con with a lengthy rap sheet.

In Almost Paradise, New York Times bestselling author Kieran Crowley recreates the three tumultuous lives that intersected fatally in East Hampton that fall. He chronicles Generosa's lonely transformation from an angry, orphaned teenager to a temperamental Manhattan artist and society wife. He follows Danny Pelosi's rambunctious odyssey from privileged son to down-on-his-luck alcoholic and unsuccessful contractor charged with murder. And he tracks the charmed life and tragic death of Ted Ammon, whose money and status couldn't save him from the machinations of those around him.

This extraordinary story of a volatile marriage, infidelity, and a brutal demise set in the high society world of the Hamptons will captivate fans of true crime and anyone who read Maria Flook's Invisible Eden.

Autorenporträt
Kieran Crowley is the New York Times bestselling author of THE SURGEON'S WIFE and BURNED ALIVE, and an award-winning reporter for the New York Post. His investigative reporting on a series of dismemberment murders of prostitutes helped lead homicide detectives to serial killer Robert Shulman, who told police after his arrest that he halted his killing spree when he read a description of himself and his car in one of Crowley's stories. His investigative reporting into the crimes of the Zodiac Killer helped crack that unsolved case and resulted in Crowley's book, SLEEP MY LITTLE DEAD. Crowley has covered hundreds of trials and thousands of murders, including the assassination of John Lennon, as well as the cases of Amy Fisher, Katie Beers, the Long Island Railroad Massacre, and serial killer Joel Rifkin.
