Summary:

"They are the families considered worthy of a listing in the exclusive Green Book--a discriminative diary created by the niece of Edith Roosevelt's social secretary. Their old money and manners lurk in the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, Kalorama, and Capitol Hill. They socialize only within their inner circle, turning a blind eye to those who come and go on the political merry-go-round. Parents and their children live lives free of consequences in gilded existences of power and privilege. But what they have failed to understand is that the world is changing. And when the family of one of their own is found brutally murdered in their colonial mansion, everything about their legacies is suddenly called into question. One teenager--finding her values at odds with her inheritance--will light a fire in the darkness, but will her fellow Cave Dwellers be able to see the writing on the wall?" -- Front jacket flap.
