"Rich both in twists and period detail, this tale of big-city ambition is impossible to put down."--People Fiona Davis's stunning debut novel pulls readers into the lush world of New York City's glamorous Barbizon Hotel for Women, where in the 1950s a generation of aspiring models, secretaries, and editors lived side by side while attempting to claw their way to fairy-tale success, and where a present-day journalist becomes consumed with uncovering a dark secret buried deep within the Barbizon's glitzy past. When she arrives at the famed Barbizon Hotel in 1952, secretarial school enrollment in hand, Darby McLaughlin is everything her modeling agency hall mates aren't: plain, self-conscious, homesick, and utterly convinced she doesn't belong--a notion the models do nothing to disabuse. Yet when Darby befriends Esme, a Barbizon maid, she's introduced to an entirely new side of New York City: seedy downtown jazz clubs where the music is as addictive as the heroin that's used there, the startling sounds of bebop, and even the possibility of romance. Over half a century later, the Barbizon's gone condo and most of its long-ago guests are forgotten. But rumors of Darby's involvement in a deadly skirmish with a hotel maid back in 1952 haunt the halls of the building as surely as the melancholy music that floats from the elderly woman's rent-controlled apartment. It's a combination too intoxicating for journalist Rose Lewin, Darby's upstairs neighbor, to resist--not to mention the perfect distraction from her own imploding personal life. Yet as Rose's obsession deepens, the ethics of her investigation become increasingly murky, and neither woman will remain unchanged when the shocking truth is finally revealed.

1884. New York Amikor egy véletlen találkozás után Theodore Camden, az előkelő New York-i apartmanház, a Dakota tervezője, állást ajánl Sara Smythe számára, a lány egész világát felforgatja ez a lehetőség. Mindez kilátást jelent arra, hogy New Yorkba költözzön, s arra, hogy ő legyen a Dakota-ház igazgatónője. És főként esélyt arra, hogy többet találkozhasson Theóval, aki úgy megérti őt, ahogyan senki más. Napjainkban... Bailey Camdennek is égető szüksége van új lehetőségekre; az elvonókúráról nemrég kijött korábbi lakberendezőnek nincs lakása, állása és egy vasa sem. Bailey nagyapja az ismert építész, Theodore Camden gyámfia volt, a lány mégsem lát egyetlen centet sem a Camden család tekintélyes vagyonából; csaknem mindent az unokatestvére, Melinda örököl. Így amikor Melinda felajánlja Bailey-nek, hogy irányítsa a Dakota-házban lévő pazar lakásának felújítását, Bailey kapva kap az alkalmon; bár fájdalmasan érinti, hogy a felújítás megfosztja jellegzetes karakterétől a lakosztályt, amelyben hajdan Theodore Camden lakott... és ahol meghalt, miután több késszúrással megölte a Dakota egy korábbi alkalmazottja.
