August, 1922, Jay Gatsby is found shot in his West Egg swimming pool, quickly assumed to have been murdered by George Wilson, after he, too, is found dead in the woods nearby. But when a diamond hairpin is found in the bushes by the pool, the more suspect the mysterious millionaire’s murder seems. There’s Daisy Buchanan, who fell in love with Jay Gatsby in Louisville in 1917. And Daisy’s best friend, Jordan Baker, who is guarding a secret that derailed her promising career. Then there’s Catherine McCoy, Myrtle Wilson’s younger sister. But by the summer of 1922, each woman’s life is on the brink of unraveling, just as Jay Gatsby’s years-long fixation with Daisy surfaces again on Long Island. Each woman is drawn into his obsession, with devastating consequences for all of them.
