Synopsis

It's a frigid New England Saturday night in November 1942 and the Cocoanut Grove nightclub, a tropical-themed oasis in the center of Boston, is packed with a thousand people, twice its legal capacity. Young servicemen enjoy their last night out before going off to war, and families celebrate Thanksgiving weekend together. Boston's elite are in attendance, along with genuine Hollywood royalty, as well as just regular folks splurging on an evening in a magical place. Shortly after ten o'clock a small fire starts in the basement lounge. Within a half-hour hundreds of these people, many who felt lucky to have gotten into the hottest club in town, will be dead. This is the tale of how a place that began as someone's unlikely show business dream ended up becoming a horrific nightmare, a devastating tragedy for the city of Boston and the countless people the fire impacted. Based on the real story of the twists and turns of fate, corruption and greed, this historical novel, encompassing the entire history of the club, walks with the characters as they hear the sirens call, luring them into the worst nightclub fire in history.
