       New York City – Spring, 1947:

The dark clouds of WWII have scattered...

       America revels in the sunshine of a new era. Heroes have returned to marry their sweethearts and the best jobs must go to them. Or so Grace Russo is told. But the typing pool doesn't suit this Brooklyn girl, and never will.

       Working for Harry Shaw is not her first choice. But she’s run out of options and persuades the skeptical private detective to give her a chance. It isn’t long before her brother Joe, a troubled veteran and jazz musician, is charged with the murder of a beautiful Black night club singer, Lana Delmar.​​

      Despite a truck load of evidence against him, Grace knows Joe is innocent and helps Harry dig for the truth. But when Grace’s boss suddenly disappears, she pursues the evidence alone.

      She works undercover as a cigarette girl in The Starlight Room, a swank Manhattan supper club. A glittering but dangerous world where no one can be trusted, and every smile hides secrets. Her wits sharpened and courage tested, Grace is determined to unveil the elusive killer and win justice for Joe and Lana. Even when her stubborn heart marks her as the next victim.
