Connected short stories about the family of Lysander Blackmore, the villainous banker from my previous novel, The Queen City.
Narrow Lives is the story of those whose lives were affected by Lysander Blackmore, the sinister banker first introduced to readers in The Queen City. It is a novel that stands alone, yet readers of The Marquette Trilogy will be reacquainted with some familiar characters.
