"High drama set in 1820s New York Cityvividsatisfying."Publishers WeeklyA broiling summer in the 1820s, and the specter of yellow fever hangs over New York City. The eminent physician David Hosack (who as a young man attended Alexander Hamilton at his fatal duel with Aaron Burr) struggles to head off a disastrous epidemic, but is thwarted by powerful merchants and corrupt politicians who aim to cover up the fever threat at all costs. Brought down by scandal, Dr. Hosack turns to his enterprising young assistant, Albert Dash, to expose the truth. But Albert has distractions of his own: he is penniless, and in love with a brilliant young actress on the brink of fame. Meanwhile, a powerful newspaper editor and a visionary architect team up on a scheme of their own to save the city: the Croton Aqueduct, the most ambitious public works project since Roman times.Climaxing in a mass exodus as a deadly fever epidemic sweeps through old New York, Hosack's Folly is historical fiction at its most thrilling.
