Her high school sweetheart is about to propose and sweep her off to the life everyone has always expected they'd have together: a quiet house in the suburbs, Marion staying home to raise their future children. But instead, Marion finds herself feeling trapped. So when she comes across an opportunity to audition for the famous Radio City Rockettes--the glamorous precision-dancing troupe--she jumps at the chance to exchange her predictable future for the dazzling life of a performer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Meanwhile, the city is reeling from a string of bombings orchestrated by a person the press has nicknamed the \"Big Apple Bomber,\" who has been terrorizing the citizens of New York for sixteen years by planting bombs in popular, crowded spaces. With the public in an uproar over the lack of any real leads after a yearslong manhunt, the police turn in desperation to Peter Griggs, a young doctor at a local mental hospital who espouses a radical new technique: psychological profiling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As both Marion and Peter find themselves unexpectedly pulled in to the police search for the bomber, Marion realizes that as much as she's been training herself to blend in--performing in perfect unison with all the other identical Rockettes--if she hopes to catch the bomber, she'll need to stand out and take a terrifying risk. In doing so, she may be forced to sacrifice everything she's worked for, as well as the people she loves the most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.32w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593184042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/09\/2023 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFiona Davis\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of several novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Dollhouse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Address\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Masterpiece\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chelsea Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lions of Fifth Avenue\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Magnolia Palace\u003c\/i\u003e.
