Book review:In Sin in the Second City; by Karen Abbott

In Sin in the Second City, Karen Abbott tells the story of the Everleigh Club, Chicago's famous brothel. Run by the Everleigh sisters, who claimed an aristocratic pedigree, the club was opulent, the working girls were called Butterflies, and the girls were pampered and well paid. The club's success during its 11-year run attracted European royalty, athletes, celebrities, and politicians. It also attracted the attention of reformers, prosecutors, and the fledgling FBI.
