When seventeen-year-old Kit leaves her family and boyfriend behind to try to make it big as a dancer in 1950s New York City, she never imagines how hard it will be. Her luck changes when her boyfriend’s father, a big time mob lawyer, gets her an apartment and a job in exchange for doing him an occasional favor. When those favors include tracking the movements of a mobster who later turns up dead, Kit begins to wonder what she’s gotten herself into. But the more she tries to distance herself from the situation, the more entangled she becomes. (Grades 7 & up)
