The Magnolia Palace by New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis explores the dark history of the Frick residence, one of New York’s most prominent Gilded Age buildings. After losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak, Lillian Carter secures a job as a secretary for heiress Helen Frick, only to discover a tangled web of family drama. Nearly 50 years later, English model Veronica Weber arrives at a Vogue shoot at the mansion—now the Frick Collection—and discovers a series of hidden messages that could finally lead to the truth about the decades-old murder in the infamous Frick family.
Fiona Davis is the author of numerous novels featuring iconic New York City architecture, most recently The Lions of Fifth Avenue, set in the New York Public Library.
“Historical fiction at its best . . . well-developed characters, detail, art history, and mystery.” —Library Journal (starred review)
