When a fire forces TV newswoman Robin Hudson to vacate her apartment, she and her redoubtable cat Louise Bryant move into the legendary Chelsea Hotel, the bohemian hostelry where artists famous and infamous have long lived a semi-peaceful co-existence with countless hangers-on, wanna-bes, and rubberneckers looking for the real New York.
A smokey-eyed man she's just met dies in an apparent suicide, but Robin's not so sure. Could it be murder? Perhaps a genuine suicide subtly staged to look like murder and thereby frame someone? Maybe even the last words in performance art? Is it related in some way to the star-crossed and rather irritable young lovers who have appealed to Robin for help?
To sort it out, Robin must brave the whole downtown thing and more: guerrilla artists, jealous women, brooding poets, feuding magicians, art forgers and befuddled tourists. It could make a girl crazy, having to dig deep into the history of the venerable hotel nick-named (not without reason) "the mother ship". Oh, and plus . . . one final, terrible complication: Robin seems to have fallen accidentally in love.
Will Robin get the bad guy? The good guy? Both?
