Subtitled "The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady", this is the story of Lorelei Lee, a former actress and social climber who makes her way into the glittering social life of the Jazz Age. Told in the first person, the novel takes the form of Lorelei's diary and records events in the final months before her marriage to the wealthy Henry Spoffard.

Lucia and Charley are the products of Old New York's ruling elite. Prestige. Wealth. Tradition. Scandal. No one is immune. Not Charley, reckless, blithe courtier of trouble, heiress to the Montrose fortune, who has been conspicuously absent for over a year without a word of truth or explanation. Nor Lucia, as docile a daughter as any parent could wish for, carrying secrets of her own, slowly awakening to a yearning for things beyond obeisance to the established order, as deeply ingrained as Old New York's fascination for, and fear of, scandal. Sailing into the summer of 1929, on the eve of the Black Tuesday Wall Street Crash and a world on the brink of change, Charley and Lucia must keep their wits sharp about them in the pleasure capitals of the Continent and on the Nile to steer their futures away from peril. There are men and temptations to resist, intrigues and mysteries to untangle, secrets to hide, lies to weave, and jewel thieves to outsmart while, back home in New York and on the Exchange, the world rumbles and thunders ominously by. More hangs in the balance than the frivolities of the Jazz Age, the glitzy parties in London and the lures of Paris, automobile races, leisurely flirtations on the French Riviera, opulent Egyptian nights, and the catching of a brilliant matrimonial prize. This Grand Tour could prove to be the making of two young women, a prelude to freedom and independence, to saving and building an empire... Or perhaps merely an invitation to rebellion, scandal and unmitigated disaster. Running away or running towards? Tick-tock.

New Orleans, 1919. In a city of shadows, the music is your only prayer. The air is thick with danger and the defiant sound of Jazz. A terrifying serial killer, known only as the Axeman, haunts the night. He leaves no clues-just blood, and a chilling ultimatum: Play jazz, or die. Celeste Duvall, a fiercely independent Creole pianist, runs her speakeasy, The Red Drum, by the Axeman's rule. The music is her shield, her business, and the constant, intoxicating rhythm that drowns out the trauma of her past. She refuses to be a victim, but the killer's shadow is growing closer. When the Axeman strikes just blocks from her club, Celeste's life collides with that of Detective Elias Virelli. A brooding, war-scarred Italian-American cop, Elias is obsessed with the case and instantly suspicious of the guarded woman who runs the city's loudest haven. He sees her as a prime suspect-or a target-but he can't deny the powerful, dangerous rhythm that pulls them together. As bodies stack up and the city descends into panic, Celeste and Elias must work in the shadows to unmask the killer. But the Axeman isn't choosing victims at random. He's hunting a secret linked to an old score, a secret Celeste may be desperately trying to forget. In a city where silence is death and every note could be a lie, Celeste must decide who she fears more: the masked killer with an axe, or the detective who threatens to tear down all the walls she built to survive. Can they catch the killer before the Axeman discovers the one truth that connects them all? And in a world of fear, is love the most dangerous sound of all? Will be using actual historical notes
