Description

Diamonds by the Yard is the story of Lexi Langdon, a beautiful young heiress from Houston, Texas, living in New York with her husband Ray Arthur - a record company executive with dangerous Mafia ties - and her affair with Lee Franklin, an ambitious and charismatic singer-songwriter. The setting is New York City and the East End of Long Island, The Hamptons, in 1975-76, a time when excessive and flamboyant behavior was the norm. The rich and famous interact with characters from all walks of life, from notorious mafia hoodlums and punk rock musicians to celebrities of all types. Told within the historical context of the time, Diamonds by the Yard is set against the backdrop of the end of the Vietnam War, New York City on the verge of bankruptcy, Philippe Petit tightrope walking across the World Trade Centers, the spectacular bicentennial July 4th celebration in New York harbor, the launch of Saturday Night Live and the cocaine drenched Discomania that enveloped the city. From the expansive lawns of East Hampton mansions to the formal dining rooms of 5th Avenue triplex apartments, from the punk palace CBGB to the multi-million dollar yacht The Yellow Rose, this intense and multi-layered novel recreates an era in American history which can only be compared in opulence and outrageousness to that found in The Great Gatsby.
