英文简介:
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “With narrative elan, Egan gives us a riveting saga of how a predatory con man became one of the most powerful people in 1920s America, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, with a plan to rule the country–and how a grisly murder of a woman brought him down.
Compelling and chillingly resonant with our own time.
” –Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile “Riveting.
.
.
Egan is a brilliant researcher and lucid writer.
” –Minneapolis Star Tribune A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan’s rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them.
The Roaring Twenties–the Jazz Age–has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity.
But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan.
Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West.
They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise.
And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.
C.
Stephenson.
Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling.
Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he’d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows – their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations.
Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership.
But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman – Madge Oberholtzer – who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees.
A FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND marries a propulsive drama to a powerful and page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history.

立即成为纽约时报畅销书“凭借叙事的活力，伊根向我们讲述了一个掠夺性骗子如何成为 1920 年代美国最有权势的人之一，三K党的大龙，并计划统治这个国家—— – 以及一个女人的可怕谋杀是如何让他失望的。
令人信服和令人不寒而栗的共鸣与我们自己的时代。
——埃里克·拉尔森，《灿烂与邪恶》的作者–Minneapolis Star Tribune 普利策奖和国家图书奖获奖作家的历史惊悚片，讲述了 3K 党在 1920 年代崛起的引人入胜的故事，推动这种崛起的狡猾骗子，以及阻止他们的女人。
咆哮的二十年代——爵士时代——被描述为盖茨比轻浮的时代。
但这也是美国独特的仇恨团体 Ku Klux Klan 的巅峰时期。
他们的领地不是旧邦联，而是腹地和西部。
他们同样憎恨黑人、犹太人、天主教徒和移民，并采取激进措施阻止这些人实现美国的承诺。
而启动他们接管美国大片地区的人是一位名叫 DC Stephenson 的魅力十足的江湖骗子。
斯蒂芬森是一个有魅力的存在，他的人生故事随着每一次讲述而改变。
在他到达印第安纳州的两年内，他成为了该州的大龙，并制定了使该组织走出阴影的战略——他们的信息得到了当地教堂讲坛的认可，并在家庭野餐和镇上传播开来庆祝活动。
全国各地的法官、检察官、部长、州长和参议员都自豪地宣布他们的成员身份。
但在他的影响力达到顶峰时，却是一个看似无能为力的女人——马奇·奥伯霍尔茨——揭露了他秘密的残忍行为，她临终前的证词最终让三K党屈服。
A FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND 将一部推动力的戏剧与一部强大而翻页的清算结合起来，讲述美国历史上最黑暗的线索之一。
