In 1913 Manhattan, secrets are currency—and the price of truth could be your life.
When society columnist Louisa Delafield crosses paths with Ellen Malloy, a former ladies’ maid grieving a friend’s suspicious death, neither expects to form an alliance. But after Ellen witnesses a fatal abortion and powerful forces try to silence her, Louisa trades gossip columns for investigative grit.
Navigating the rigid divides of class and gender, the women uncover a web of corruption that spans from tenement halls to glittering ballrooms. A sex trafficking ring, a predatory doctor, and a justice system rigged against them stand in their way.
As allies turn traitor and danger closes in, Louisa and Ellen must decide how far they’re willing to go for justice.
Was change even possible in 1913?
