The Post Debutante

Book excerpt: The Post Debutante, By Herman Franck, Esq., is a psychological thriller/murder mystery set in high society San Francisco, present day. Nothing wakes up a debutante like a murder charge. Nancy Sheridon is a high society San Francisco woman whose perfect wedding plans fall apart, as does she, when her fiancée falls in love with a newly arrived prima ballerina of the San Francisco Ballet. Later, the ballerina is found dead, apparently at the hands of her fiancé, George Anton. After DNA evidence exonerates George and points the police to Nancy, she is charged with the murder. She learns the hard lessons of the loneliness of injustice, and how injustices can challenge all trusts, even the trust between parent and child. She also learns a lesson she didn’t know she already knew, that was is lovely and wealthy on the outside is not necessarily lovely and wealthy on the inside.
