Kiki Button—war veteran, party girl, detective, and
spy—finds that she can't outrun her past exploits, even in
the glittering world of Jazz Age
Paris.
Paris in 1921 is the city of freedom,
where hatless and footloose Kiki Button can drink champagne
and dance until dawn. She works as a gossip columnist,
partying with the rich and famous, the bohemian and strange,
using every moment to create a new woman from the ashes of
her war-worn self.
While on the modelling dais,
Picasso gives her a job: to find his wife's portrait, which
has gone mysteriously missing. That same night, her
spymaster from the war contacts her—she has to find a double
agent or face jail. Through parties, whisky, and seductive
informants, Kiki uses her knowledge of Paris from the Great
War to connect the clues.
Set over the course of one
springtime week, April in Paris, 1921 is a mystery
that combines artistic gossip with interwar political
history through witty banter, steamy scenes, and fast action.
