It is December 1923. Esther Todd is a lovely young pianist, a rising star. Her future is bright, her escape from poverty a real possibility. That is, until one night, when she vanishes along the snowy streets of New York City.
Days later, thieves hit the home of her society patron, pulling off a million-dollar heist in an inside job. Are the disappearance and the robbery coincidence or conspiracy?
Someone knows, but nobody’s talking. Three years later, the mystery remains.
Reporter Lanie Price covered the initial case. Esther's sister, Ruth, now begs Lanie to dedicate her Christmas column to the case. Maybe someone, somewhere will remember something. Lanie starts asking hard questions, dangerous questions, the kind just about guaranteed to get her killed.
