In Bacon’s novel, a 38-year-old New Yorker’s friend is murdered, and she soon discovers the many secrets she was keeping. It’s 1987: Andy Warhol has recently died, the Iran-Contra Affair is on the news, and artist Seal Larson lies dead on Manhattan concrete. Emma Quinn, a history professor at Columbia University, had found a lot of common ground with Seal, her 30-something neighbor. Like Emma, the visual artist lived alone, and she shared Emma’s passion for art, music, and nightlife.
