Fiona Davis, author of The Dollhouse, returns with a
compelling novel about the thin lines between love and loss,
success and ruin, passion and madness, all hidden behind the
walls of The Dakota—New York City’s most famous residence. One
hundred years apart, Sara and Bailey are both tempted by and
struggle against the golden excess of their respective ages—for
Sara, the opulence of a world ruled by the Astors and
Vanderbilts; for Bailey, the free-flowing drinks and cocaine in
the nightclubs of New York City—and take refuge and solace in
the Upper West Side’s gilded fortress. But a building with a
history as rich—and often tragic—as The Dakota’s can’t hold its
secrets forever, and what Bailey discovers in its basement could
turn everything she thought she knew about Theodore Camden—and
the woman who killed him—on its head. With rich historical
detail, nuanced characters, and gorgeous prose, Fiona Davis once
again delivers a compulsively readable novel that peels back the
layers of not only a famed institution, but the lives—and
lies—of the beating hearts within.
