London, 1936. The dazzling theatre career Lena Aldridge hoped for hasn't worked out. But Lena struggles as a mixed-race girl passing for white in a city unforgiving of her true racial heritage. She's feeling hopeless until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary. After a murder at the club, Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. But death follows her onboard when someone is killed in a chillingly familiar way. Full of seductive glamor and dizzying twists.
