The Solomon Scandals A Washington newspaper novel by David Rothman

‘The Rothman Scandal’: What’s good for the Solomons is good for…

Beth Solomon of The­Ge­orge­townDish is a good sport about the exis­tence of a D.C. novel with a vil­lain named Solomon:

“It would be great to have SOME kind of scan­dal in the family.”

Now I’ll try to show Beth’s humor and aplomb toward another book, or at least its title: The Roth­man Scan­dal, by Stephen Birm­ing­ham of Our Crowd fame.

“The Roth­mans have money, power—and secrets to hide,” reads back-cover copy for the paper­back. “A dis­tin­guished patriarch’s dark his­tory. A hand­some grandson’s mys­te­ri­ous death. An illicit affair that could destroy a family.

“The fash­ion world has its secrets, too. A career built on lies and decep­tion. A dou­ble life. A hid­den agenda that could end an empire.

“But Alexan­dra Roth­man, the pow­er­ful edi­tor of Mode, hides one scan­dal, one secret that could shat­ter her fam­ily and her career—if she trusts the wrong person…”

Ouch! A jour­nal­ism angle, even.

Detail: The cover shown is prob­a­bly for the hard­back edi­tion. I’ve just received a used paper­back, with a more col­or­ful image, and will scan and post it when I have a chance.
