Gilded Needles Audiobook

Welcome to the Black Triangle, New York’s decadent district of opium dens, gambling casinos, drunken sailors, gaudy hookers, and back-room abortions. The queen of this unsavory neighborhood is Black Lena Shanks, whose family leads a ring of female criminals – women skilled in the art of cruelty.

Only a few blocks away, amidst the elegant mansions and lily-white reputations of Gramercy Park and Washington Square, lives Judge James Stallworth. On a crusade to crush Lena’s evil empire, the judge has sentenced three of her family members to death. And now she wants revenge.

One Sunday, all the Stallworths receive invitations – to their own funerals. Can even the wealth and power of the Stallworth family protect them from Lena’s diabolical lust for vengeance?

This first-ever republication of Michael McDowell’s chilling classic of revenge features a new introduction by Christopher Fowler and cover art by Mike Mignola.
