About the author:

Fiona Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of six historical fiction novels set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Dollhouse, The Address, and The Lions of Fifth Avenue, which was a Good Morning America book club pick. Her novels have been chosen as “One Book, One Community” reads and her articles have appeared in publications like The Wall Street Journal and O the Oprah magazine. She first came to New York as an actress, but fell in love with writing after getting a master's degree at Columbia Journalism School. Her books have been translated into over a dozen languages and she's
based in New York City.

In The Spectacular, nineteen-year-old Marion Brooks is on track to live the quintessential 1950s life. A stunning beauty, she has a doting boyfriend poised to propose at any moment and provide her with the future that’s expected of a young woman like her. A gifted dancer with aspirations beyond homemaking, she feels stifled by the life everyone has mapped out for her. So when she comes across the opportunity to audition for the Radio City Rockettes, she jumps at the chance.

As Marion adjusts to the realities of life as a new Rockette—both exhilarating and exhausting—the city is on edge as “the Big Apple Bomber” continues to plant bombs in popular, crowded spaces. When he targets Radio City, Marion finds herself pulled into the investigation alongside a new acquaintance, Dr. Peter Griggs, who believes a radical new technique, psychological profiling, is the key to identifying the bomber. What ensues is a daring and dangerous plan to catch the madman, forcing Marion to sacrifice everything she’s worked for, as well as the people she loves most.
