Synopsis

A Boston reporter hunts a sensational story in New York, chasing rumor, power, and danger in a world of occult intrigue.

In this early 20th‑century tale, a Boston Banner reporter visits the bustling Oriental Building in New York to chase a feature that could become a sensational spread. He encounters a world where feuding Egyptian scholars, Theosophists, and rival secretive societies collide around a private hall and a famous, enigmatic hostess. The book blends journalism, mysticism, and public intrigue as rumors of reincarnation and hidden treasures push events toward a dramatic confrontation.

What you’ll experience:

• Rapid, newspaper‑style pacing as a reporter pursues a hot lead.
• Atmosphere built from a clash of belief systems and occult symbolism.
• Twists around access, danger, and the blurred line between publicity and peril.
• A glimpse into a world where rumor and sensationalism drive a city’s headlines.

Ideal for readers who enjoy early‑20th‑century fiction, fast plots, and stories where ambition, myth, and journalism collide.
