Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the case of January Jacobs, who was found dead in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Margot Davies was six at the time, the same age as January\u2014and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, and become a big-city journalist, but she\u2019s always been haunted by the fear that it could\u2019ve been her. And the worst part is, January\u2019s killer has never been brought to justice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

New York City, 1921: Here four extraordinary women form a bridge group that grows into a firm friendship. Dorothy Parker: renowned wit, member of the Algonquin Round Table. Jane Grant: first female reporter for the New York Times. Winifred Lenihan: beautiful and talented Broadway actress. Peggy Leach: magazine assistant by day, novelist by night.

But an uncanny bolt from the blue–a message from Miko Nakamura, a woman whom he’d known in the sixties when they were students in London–both inspires and rattles him, as he is drawn inexorably back into a love story that has marked him for life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
