  On the surface, Violet Lane is the prettiest street in town—neat hedgerows, pastel-painted houses, and neighbours who always smile. But behind the front doors, secrets fester in silence. 
  When beloved local teacher Eleanor Hayes is found dead in her sitting room, the police are quick to suspect a break-in gone wrong. But Detective Clara Warren isn’t convinced. The crime scene is too neat, the timeline too tidy—and everyone on Violet Lane seems to have something to hide. 
  As Clara digs deeper, she uncovers a web of grudges, betrayals, and whispered affairs that stretch far beyond the lane itself. And when another body is discovered, it becomes chillingly clear: someone on Violet Lane will kill to protect the truth. 
  Atmospheric, twist-filled, and impossible to put down, Murder on Violet Lane proves that even the prettiest streets can hide the darkest crimes.

  “Passionate. . . . [The] lively satirical account of capitalist greed . . . and socialist struggle,” that inspired the film There Will Be Blood (The Guardian). From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Jungle, a novel set against the backdrop of the political corruption fueling the California oil industry during the Harding administration. Oil! is a tale of the capitalist insatiability that comes between an oil baron and his son, whose growing sympathies with the labor movement and socialist ideals fuels the riff between them. Peopled with politicians, financial investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood star, and a crusading evangelist, Oil! is also a spirited social commentary on the class struggle at the heart of the divide in post–World War I America. Written by an author heralded for his compelling narratives exploring themes of social justice, Oil! is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1927. “A marvelous panorama of Southern California life. It is storytelling with an edge on it.” —The New Republic   “A tremendous piece of work.” —The Nation
