It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I am a big fan of Elizabeth Camden’s novels—I love the way she can weave real-life history and a solid Christian arc into her stories and make them unputdownable. While the City Sleeps is the first in her new Women of Midtown series, set in 1913 New York. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About While the City Sleeps
Amid the hushed city, two hearts must navigate danger and deception, bound by a love that outshines the stars.
Katherine Schneider’s life as a dentist in 1913 New York is upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help from the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has long admired from afar.
Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings toward Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark history is something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the line, he works alongside her through the nights as they unravel the criminal conspiracy that threatens her . . . even as he keeps his deepest secrets hidden at all costs.
