Sinners of Starlight City Summary

Sinners of Starlight City: A sumptuous historical novel of revenge and redemption by Anika Scott

FROM INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR ANIKA SCOTT

Madame Mystique is a performer extraordinaire, come to work her scandalous magic at the glittering 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Of African American and Sicilian heritage, Mystique - aka Rosa Mancuso - and her fellow performers move on the margins. Her ambiguous status serves a hidden vendetta: she awaits the arrival of Paolo Amanta, the dashing pilot sent by Mussolini to dazzle spectators with a phenomenal air show.

Back in Sicily, Paolo's band of young Fascists had murdered her relatives as the old Mafia families were swept from their palazzi with unsparing brutality. Rosa is fixed on revenge. Then her estranged cousin, Mina, comes to the Fair, begging her help to face down their American family. Sinners of Starlight City is an immersive story of injustice, retribution and redemption that asks: who decides who we are and where we belong?

Sinners of Starlight City Reviews

'A lush and beautifully rendered novel that will keep you turning pages long into the night. Mystery, intrigue, secrets and a vendetta fuel this story, which is ultimately about the meaning of family and the power of love. Brava!'

* Adriana Trigiani, New York Times-bestselling author of 'The Good Left Undone' *

'This novel whisked me away to 1930s Chicago and all the wonders of the World's Fair. Family secrets, revenge and women who refuse to do what they're told - an ideal combination. I loved it'

* Louise Hare, author of 'This Lovely City' and 'Miss Aldridge Regrets' *

'Expansive and emotive, I couldn't put this book down. Amid the intrigue, revenge, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Chicago World's Fair, Anika Scott still manages to make Sinners of Starlight City a deeply intimate story about family with characters that jump off the page. Another notch in Scott's literary belt!'

* Catherine Adel West, author of 'The Two Lives of Sara' and 'Saving Ruby King' *

'Full of Italian mobsters and family strife, this tale of historical fiction and drama will transport readers to the fantasy and glory that was the 1933 World's Fair'

* Booklist *
