A tantalizing mystery that uncovers the secrets, betrayal, and murder hidden within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions.
Eight months after the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, former artist's model Lillian Carter is desperate for work and a safe haven from a looming scandal. She secures a position as a private secretary to Helen Frick, the imperious heiress of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, pulling her into a tangled web of romantic trysts and stolen jewels inside the Frick mansion. Nearly fifty years later, English model Veronica Weber is participating in a fashion shoot at the former residence, now the Frick Collection. When she discovers a series of hidden messages in the museum, it sparks a hunt that could finally reveal the truth behind a decades-old family murder. The narrative provides a close-up look at the rigid social hierarchy and hidden lives of the Gilded Age elite.
