The Spectacular : A Novel
by Fiona Davis
New York City, 1956: Nineteen-year-old Marion has been selected to join the Rockettes, Radio City Music Hall’s glamorous precision-dancing troupe. But with four shows a day, grueling rehearsals, and exacting standards of perfection to live up to, Marion quickly realizes that the life of a Rockette isn't easy. Then one night a bomb explodes in the audience of the theater, the latest in a string of explosions. For sixteen years, the "Big Apple Bomber" has been terrorizing New Yorkers by planting bombs in crowded spaces. At Marion’s urging, the police turn in desperation to a radical new technique: psychological profiling. As Marion finds herself pulled deeper into the investigation, she realizes that as much as she’s been training herself to blend in—performing in perfect unison with all the other identical Rockettes—if she hopes to catch the bomber, she’ll need to stand out and take a terrifying risk.
