Historical novelist Chloe Whitfield visits Ca’ d’Zan in Sarasota to investigate stories about her great-grandmother Lucinda Conroy, reputedly a noted trapeze performer. A surviving poster places Lucinda at John Ringling’s seventieth-birthday gala in 1936, when a robbery and possible death disturbed the celebration.
Lucinda’s child was raised in an orphanage, and the family record ends soon after the party. Chloe follows fragments of circus history through scandal, larceny and hidden parentage, trying to determine whether Lucinda vanished by choice or became a victim. The investigation also forces Chloe to reconsider the family identity built upon her absence.
