A FATAL FLOURISH: Gilded Age diva Ella Shane returns for her most dangerous adventure ever, arriving home from a tour in February 1901 to find her unpleasant elder stepson is in town – and charged with murder in a bar fight. Soon after, Ella’s beloved physician, Dr. Edith Silver, is arrested for obscenity by a publicity-mad Assistant Police Commissioner. Now, Ella, facing her own life-changing news, is forced to unravel two nefarious plots, with help from her colorful family and friends on both sides of the law. With the series’ signature combination of rollicking fun and sharp social commentary, Ella tracks a killer, fights ignorance and prejudice, and ultimately finds herself in another catwalk duel with a villain. And this time, the stakes are the highest she’s ever faced.
