Summary

Annie Hannigan, a jitterbugging teenager in the 1930s, dreams of offing her mother, Elsie, whom she blames for abandoning her for a job soon after her husband, a cop, is shot and killed. Employed by her husband’s best friend—a perpetually soused private eye—Elsie finds herself covering up his missteps as she is drawn into a case of a mysterious client who leads her into a decade-long drama of deception and dual identities sprawling from the Depression era to World War II Hollywood and the jungles of the South Pacific
