In this riveting novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of a group of remarkable women navigating the challenges of balancing their families, their personal lives and the high stakes of ambition at the top of their game.

In the summer of 1995, ten-year-old Joan, her mother, and her younger sister flee her father’s violence, seeking refuge at her mother’s ancestral home in Memphis. Half a century ago, Joan’s grandfather built this majestic house in the historic Black neighborhood of Douglass--only to be lynched days after becoming the first Black detective in Memphis. This wasn’t the first time violence altered the course of Joan’s family’s trajectory, and she knows it won’t be the last. Longing to become an artist, Joan pours her rage and grief into sketching portraits of the women of North Memphis--including their enigmatic neighbor Miss Dawn, who seems to know something about curses. Unfolding over seventy years through a chorus of voices, Memphis weaves back and forth in time to show how the past and future are forever intertwined. It is only when Joan comes to see herself as a continuation of a long matrilineal tradition--and the women in her family as her guides to healing--that she understands that her life does not have to be defined by vengeance. That the sole weapon she needs is her paintbrush.

Tan excéntrico como brillante y resolutivo, el huésped del 221b de Baker Street eclipsó la fama de su propio creador resolviendo insólitos casos, como el que se le plantea en esta novela: después de que sir Charles Baskerville aparezca muerto en extrañas circunstancias, su médico solicita los servicios de Holmes. El detective se verá envuelto en un laberinto de antiguas supersticiones y oscuras venganzas, pero tratará de no permitir que las falsedades enturbien su juicio analítico para desenmascarar al asesino de sir Baskerville. ‍
