From New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis, an utterly addictive new novel that will transport you from New York City's most glamorous party to the labyrinth streets of Cairo and back. Join us as we weave the story of a young anthropology student who is offered a coveted spot on an archaeological dig in Egypt's Valley of the Kings in 1936 with the story of a young woman in 1978 who she lands an opportunity to work for iconic former Vogue fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who's in the midst of organizing the famous Met Gala, hosted at the museum and known across the city as the "party of the year." These women’s paths intersect the night of the gala when one of the Egyptian art collection's most valuable artifacts goes missing ...and the women team up to find it.
