How it begins
You were supposed to meet Luca for coffee after his shift. Instead you find him on the sidewalk outside the hotel ballroom, phone to his ear, standing very still in the way that means something has gone wrong.
He ends the call and holds up a silk scarf, left neatly folded on an empty chair. Tucked inside is a hotel napkin with a note in red lipstick: Back by three. Don't fuss, darling.
Miss Delphine Hart. Eighty-one, two Oscars, and apparently a gift for escape. My boss can't hear about this. You know this town. Help me find her before three?
