Description: Based on a true story, Violet Sharp is set against the backdrop of one of America's most notorious crimes - the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping case. Violet Sharp, a 27 year-old British domestic in the home of Anne Lindbergh's mother, raises the suspicions of Captain Harry Walsh, a police officer investigating the kidnapping of the Lindberghs' infant son. Having initially lied to the police as to her whereabouts on the night of the crime, Violet strives to clear her name but only manages to strengthen Walsh's conviction that she is guilty. As he rigorously pursues a confession, it becomes clear that Violet is being pursued just as fervently by her own personal demons. Based on extensive research, Violet Sharp mixes fact and speculation to credibly dramatize actual events. -- Back Cover of Book.
