New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis transports us back to the 1950s Manhattan and the glamorous Radio City Music Hall…

New York City: 1956: Nineteen-year-old Marion is over the moon to have been selected to be one of the Rockettes. It’s an honor to perform in the world’s most spectacular theatre, an art deco masterpiece. But with four shows a day as well as grueling rehearsals, not to mention exacting standards of perfection to live up to, Marion quickly realizes that the life of a Rockette has both extraordinary highs and devastating lows.

Then one night a bomb explodes in the theatre.

As Marion finds herself pulled deep into the investigation, she may be forced to sacrifice everything she’s worked for, as well as the people she loves the most.
