Summary: Tampa, Florida, 1898: a frontier where the old world meets the new, and where miracles of transformation are possible. Dominating the town is the new Tampa Bay Hotel, with its tangle of Moorish minarets, cupolas and arches. This fairy-tale castle is a winter magnet for the best sorts of people. But the hotel does have one permanent year-round resident, an exotic creature by the name of Monsieur Lucien Goulet III, wig-maker to the rich and glamorous. Goulet is entranced by the head of hair belonging to a young widow, but this raw material that he needs to complete his greatest masterpeice is hard to come by
