Londra, 1926. L’ombra della Grande guerra incombe ancora sulla città, come uno spettro di povertà e di lutto per un’intera generazione perduta sui campi di battaglia. Eppure, dopo il tramonto, nei locali di Soho si accendono le luci di un mondo di lusso ostentato e di sfrenata allegria. Al riparo da occhi indiscreti, nobili e industriali brindano accanto a gangster e prostitute, mentre lo champagne scorre a fiumi e le ballerine si scatenano a ritmo di jazz. Uno sfolgorante regno della notte, la cui regina indiscussa è Nellie Coker. Audace, scaltra e intraprendente, Nellie si è conquistata quella corona pezzo per pezzo, e adesso è pronta a combattere strenuamente per mantenerla. Perché nessuno arriva così in alto senza farsi dei nemici, soprattutto se si è una donna, e Nellie sa di non poter mai abbassare la guardia, altrimenti i rivali e, forse, persino i suoi stessi figli ne approfitterebbero per spodestarla. Così quando, nel giro di pochi giorni, quattro ragazze vengono trovate morte nei suoi locali, in lei scatta un campanello d’allarme. Qualcuno sta tramando alle sue spalle, qualcuno con agganci e conoscenze molto pericolose. Nellie dovrà dare fondo a tutte le sue risorse per evitare che il suo regno crolli, distruggendo lei e la sua famiglia…
 
Sullo sfondo della scintillante vita notturna della Londra anni ’20, Kate Atkinson tesse una trama complessa, arguta e godibilissima, dove s’intrecciano i destini di personaggi indimenticabili, tra i quali emerge un’eroina piena di carattere e dalle mille risorse, specchio delle infinite possibilità che si aprono al narratore nel creare una storia, e destinata a rimanere a lungo nel cuore dei lettori.
