| Summary |
"Find the Woman" by Arthur Somers Roche is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Clancy Deane, who leaves her mundane life in a small town in Maine to chase her dreams of fame in New York City. As she navigates the new and exciting world of Broadway, Clancy's adventures quickly turn dark when she finds herself entwined in a scandal involving murder and deceit. The opening of the novel details Clancy's arrival in New York, capturing her awe and determination as she steps into a world far removed from her previous life. She is filled with dreams of success upon receiving an unexpected inheritance, and her initial excitement leads her to the Napoli, a theatrical hotel. However, her encounters become increasingly complicated when she meets new friends, including the enigmatic Fay Marston, and soon finds herself at a dinner party that culminates in chaos when a murder occurs. As these dramatic events unfold, Clancy's naivety clashes with the harsh realities of the city, leading to a precarious situation where her future and innocence hang in the balance.
