When Warren Harding won the White House in 1920, his campaign received millions from Jake Hamon--\"The Oil King of Oklahoma.\" Harding planned to make Jake the most powerful businessman in America. But Mrs. Harding (some called her \"The Duchess\") had one condition--Hamon, a married man, had to end his affair with his long-time mistress, a girl named Clara.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJake and Clara had been together for ten years, since she was seventeen and he was thirty-seven. But Jake coveted the powerful Washington job, and he dumped Clara a couple of weeks after Harding was elected.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA few days later, Clara shot Jake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the time Jake died, Clara was in the wind. A headline-grabbing national search was conducted for the beautiful fugitive. Clara \"sightings\" were reported far and wide. A pair of colorful lawmen found Clara in an unlikely hiding place and brought her back to Ardmore, Oklahoma to face the charge of first-degree murder. What followed was one of the most sensational murder trials of the era. A \"dream team\" of powerful lawyers surrounded Clara in the courtroom. Soon Hollywood came calling, wanting to put Clara's story on the big screen...starring Clara as herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54727042138403,"sku":"9780996989206","price":39.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/4836\/2275\/files\/VlIwWDJVR2hldG9raVFpY2Z0cmhBQT09.webp?v=1770783604","url":"https:\/\/chaptersafterdarkbookstore.com\/products\/jake-clara-scandal-politics-hollywood-and-murder-paperback","provider":"Chapters After Dark Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
