1931.

The ocean glitters. The band plays on. And no one can leave.

Bound for England during Christmas time, Frances Palmer, her fiancé Jack Sullivan, and her uncle Sal find themselves aboard a glittering ocean liner where champagne flows freely and appearances are everything. Surrounded by wealth, privilege, and carefully curated lies, they find themselves trapped at sea when a passenger is murdered. 

With nowhere to run and suspects behind every cabin door, the sleuthing trio must navigate whispered alliances, polished lies, and a ship full of people with far too much to hide. With nowhere to run and a killer on the loose, the hunt proves to be no smooth sailing.

A glamorous and witty Depression-era mystery where the past rises with the tide.
