Publisher's Synopsis
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 décor, 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.
