When Frank Walworth travels to New York to settle a family difficulty by shooting his father at point blank range, his family must reveal their inner demons in a spectacular trial to save him from execution. The resulting testimony exposes a legacy of mania and abuse, and the stately reputation of the family crumbles in a Gothic drama which the \u003ci\u003eNew York Tribune \u003c\/i\u003ecalled sensational to the last degree. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fall of the House of Walworth \u003c\/i\u003egives us both the intimate history of a family torn apart by violent obsessions, and a rich portrait of the American social worlds in which they moved.
