Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 30 Summary: “Manhattan”

Margaux can get the Chelsea gallery back up and running after Griffin sold four paintings. She feels vindicated that she can save the galleries after her father nearly ruined them. She is waiting for Adam to arrive with his artwork. She still feels so much for him, but also feels betrayed. When Adam arrives and shows her his paintings, she recognizes he is still a great artist—and that his newest model is Jules.

Chapter 31 Summary: “Chicago”

Jules’s mother, Liz Roth, is concerned for her safety and doesn’t want Jules to chase the story anymore. To ease her concerns, Jules reluctantly enlists her help. She then gets a call from Bakker. He also does not believe Dan died by suicide. He tells Jules to check with the editors from Spotlight. He has learned that Stefan Dassel’s grandfather was highly ranked within the Nazi organization. Otto Dassel eventually freed Lillian Baum from Auschwitz and married her after the war. The marriage didn’t last long, however. Lillian is still alive.

Chapter 32 Summary

Liz wakes Jules to tell her Adam is waiting for her. Jules is completely unprepared to meet him. For one, she was up all night researching. She acquired a photo of Arno Baum from 1932, and she found Lillian Dassel in a convalescent center in Baden-Baden, Germany.
