King's Row by Henry Bellamann
A dark portrait of a prosperous Midwestern town whose outward respectability masks cruelty, secret passions and social hypocrisy, following a circle of young people whose idealism, romantic hopes and professional ambitions collide with jealousies, class strictures and a powerful, unscrupulous local figure; betrayals and hidden transgressions unravel relationships and lead to ruined lives, exposing the community’s moral rot and the human cost of secrecy and rigid convention.
