520    "The latest novel from the bestselling author of Dollface 
       and What the Lady Wants takes us deep into the tumultuous 
       world of 1950s Chicago where a female journalist struggles
       with the heavy price of ambition...  Every second of every
       day, something is happening. There's a story out there 
       buried in the muck, and Jordan Walsh, coming from a family
       of esteemed reporters, wants to be the one to dig it up. 
       But it's 1955, and the men who dominate the city room of 
       the Chicago Tribune have no interest in making room for a 
       female cub reporter. Instead Jordan is relegated to 
       society news, reporting on Marilyn Monroe sightings at the
       Pump Room and interviewing secretaries for the White 
       Collar Girl column.  Even with her journalistic legacy and
       connections to luminaries like Mike Royko, Nelson Algren, 
       and Ernest Hemingway, Jordan struggles to be taken 
       seriously. Of course, that all changes the moment she 
       establishes a secret source inside Mayor Daley's office 
       and gets her hands on some confidential information. Now 
       careers and lives are hanging on Jordan's every word. But 
       if she succeeds in landing her stories on the front page, 
       there's no guarantee she'll remain above the fold..."--
