In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. She has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress. Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O'Neill, a junior television producer, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother's attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that her grandmother was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles. Alternating between Mercy and Kit's timelines, this novel unfurls into a heart-stopping story of love, betrayal, and even murder.
