It is the middle of the gray flannel fifties. Ike and Mamie are in the White House, Mayor Wagner is in Gracie Mansion, and Senator Joe McCarthy is in commie-hating heaven. The Korean War has come to an ignominious end, and the battle to end school segregation has gotten off to a bleak beginning. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are busting bras to dominate the wide Technicolor screen, while Ed Sullivan, Arthur Godfrey, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are fighting for control of the small black and white screens at home. And struggling to stay afloat through it all—in a tiny, rundown apartment in the depths of Manhattan’s Greenwich Village—is a scrappy twenty-eight year old war widow with high hopes in her heart, and low-down murder on her mind.
