Specificatii
Bestselling author Beatriz Williams brings together two generations
of women inside a Greenwich Village apartment--a flapper hiding an
extraordinary past, and a modern-day Manhattanite forced to start
her life anew. When she discovers her banker husband has been
harboring a secret life, Ella Gilbert escapes their sleek So Ho
loft for a studio in a quaint building in Greenwich Village. But
her new refuge isn't quite what it seems. Her charismatic musician
neighbor, Hector, warns her to stay out of the basement after
midnight, when a symphony of mysterious noise strikes up--laughter,
clinking glasses, jazz piano, the occasional bloodcurdling
scream--even though it's stood empty for decades. Back in the
Roaring Twenties, the building hosted one of the city's most
notorious speakeasies. In 1924, Geneva "Gin" Kelly, a quick-witted
flapper from the hills of western Maryland, is a regular at this
Village hideaway known as the Christopher Club. Caught up in a
raid, Gin lands in the office of Prohibition enforcement agent
Oliver Anson, who persuades her to help him catch her stepfather,
Duke Kelly, one of Appalachia's most notorious bootleggers. Sired
by a wealthy New York scion who abandoned her showgirl mother, Gin
is nobody's fool. She strikes a risky bargain with the taciturn,
straight-arrow Revenue agent, even though her on-again, off-again
Princeton beau, Billy Marshall, wants to make an honest woman of
her and heal the legacy of her hardscrabble childhood. Gin's
alliance with Anson rattles Manhattan society, exposing sins that
shock even this free-spirited redhead--sins that echo from the
canyons of Wall Street to the mountain hollers of her hometown. As
Ella unravels the strange history of the building--and the family
thread that connects her to Geneva Kelly--she senses the Jazz Age
spirit of her incandescent predecessor invading her own shy nature,
in ways that will transform her life in the wicked city. . .
