For fans of Lisa Jewell and Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd welcomes you to Gothic, California--the mysterious town with a foggy history.
Welcome to the past.
At the glittering heart of Hollywood's golden era stands the regal Gothic Palace Theater--the pinnacle of thrilling shows, opulent d cor, and the biggest stars of stage and screen. Here, drama unfolds on and off the stage.
Welcome to the present.
Today, the Gothic Palace Theater is a vintage shop where Wendy Giordano's exploration of the abandoned backstage area leads to the discovery of an old steamer trunk. Mysteriously, the encounter transports her back to the theater's heyday--in 1940.
Welcome to Gothic.
As she struggles to make sense of what has happened, Wendy becomes entangled with handsome actor Hugh Capel. But when the theater owner's daughter goes missing--and the disappearance is linked to Hugh's jealous costar--Wendy and Hugh set off to find the child before time runs out and before Wendy is sucked back into the present.
