Book #1

New York City, 1913. Twenty-year-old Louise Faulk has fled Pennsylvania, to start a life under dizzying lights. It's not long before the young ingénue befriends an aspiring model and makes a splash at the liveliest parties. But glitter fades to grit when Louise's Greenwich Village apartment becomes the scene of a violent murder and a former suitor hustling for Tin Pan Alley fame hits front-page headlines as the prime suspect. Driven to investigate the crime, Louise finds herself stepping into the seediest corners of the burgeoning metropolis-where she soon discovers that failed dreams can turn dark and deadly.
