a historical fiction feminist noir.
“A new take on classic noir — this time from the women.”
When three career gals move into The Delta Residency Hotel for women in 1953 San Francisco—the intersection of the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement—the secrets of each woman—race, sexuality, ideology—begin to bleed as their hidden identities are exposed to the harsh light of the times.
Check into the Delta and meet: Vivienne, a flight attendant at the new SFO airport who’s hiding her past and passing as White; Anna, a sexually ambiguous, Smith-educated reporter who will do anything to break the Chronicle’s glass ceiling; Irina, the nineteen-year-old Soviet agent infiltrating NACA-Ames Research Laboratory with a growing self-harm habit; and Dolores Morgan, the boozy and brazen hotel matriarch trying to bring her “good Christian girls home by curfew.”
Disappear into the briny world of four beautifully complicated women, all with secrets and all with sass.
