The Godmother of New York
Family heirloom or stolen goods?
At the grand unveiling of a monument commemorating her ancestors as “parents of orphans”, Mallory Taunton wears a priceless diamond necklace, a family heirloom. But then a man gets up and claims that Jesse and Georgiana Birnbaum had not been philanthropists at all but part of an organisation run by Fredericka Mandelbaum, New York’s notorious queen of crime. Worse still, he claims the necklace Mallory is wearing was stolen from his family 150 years ago. An incredible story unfolds on the trail of the diamonds.
From starting out a peddler to rising in rank as head of a criminal organisation: the incredible life of Fredericka Mandelbaum.
