Description
The Magnolia Palace is now available in paperback! This tantalising novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue explores secrets, betrayal, and murder within one of New York City's most impressive Gilded Age mansions.
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Fiona Davis, renowned for her bestselling work The Lions of Fifth Avenue, returns with a gripping tale set against the backdrop of New York City's opulent past.
Eight months after losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter finds her life crumbling. Once known as Angelica, one of New York City's most sought-after artists' models, her image adorned landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge. However, with her mother gone, Lillian is lost and desperate as her job opportunities vanish and a looming scandal threatens her safety.
When Lillian stumbles upon a job opportunity at the Frick mansion—a place that ironically features her own likeness—she seizes it. Employed as a private secretary to the demanding Helen Frick, heiress of industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, Lillian becomes ensnared in a web of romantic entanglements, stolen jewels, and deep-seated family drama with stakes that could be life-threatening.
Fast forward nearly fifty years, and mod English model Veronica Weber finds herself with an opportunity to catapult her career within the former Frick residence, now a prestigious museum. When dismissed from a Vogue shoot at the Frick Collection, Veronica and a budding art curator named Joshua uncover a series of hidden messages. These clues set them on a quest not only to resolve Veronica's financial troubles but also to unveil the truth about a decades-old murder involving the notorious Frick family.
