Miss Dora Lee Griffen never planned on a comeback. At seventy-eight, she was content with her small custom design shop, her penthouse at the Royal Griffen Hotel, and her Boston terrier mix Pippa, whose oversized ears and impressive trick repertoire never fail to charm a crowd.
Then came the invitations. The interest. The impossible-to-ignore opportunity. And suddenly, the legendary fashion designer is mounting her first runway show in over a decade.
The collection represents everything Dora Lee believes fashion should be: bold colors, impeccable craftsmanship, the kind of artistry that's become nearly extinct in an age of fast fashion and disposable trends. The industry is watching. Critics are speculating. Old rivals are circling.
And then there's Scarlett.
The fashion influencer with over a million followers has built her brand on brutal takedowns and manufactured drama. When she storms into Dora Lee's shop, cameras rolling, trying to publicly humiliate the designer with accusations of unprofessionalism, she makes one critical mistake.
She underestimates a seventy-eight-year-old woman with receipts.
By the time Scarlett storms out, her own followers are calling her a liar. Her threats hang in the air: You just made a huge mistake, old lady.
The next night, at the show's rehearsal, the lights go out.
When they come back on, Scarlett is dead.
Dora Lee's comeback has become a crime scene, and she finds herself surrounded by suspects with secrets to hide. There's Casey, a fellow influencer whose entire concept Scarlett stole wholesale, destroying a friendship and a career in one calculated betrayal. There's Elise, a young model whose promising future Scarlett demolished with a single cruel post. There's even a familiar designer lurking in the shadows, one Dora Lee has crossed paths with before, always suspicious, never quite guilty.
And then there's the question of who else Scarlett wronged. Because as more people come forward in the wake of her death, a picture emerges of an influencer who made enemies the way other people make content: constantly, carelessly, and without remorse.
The show must go on. Dora Lee's reputation, her legacy, everything she's worked toward depends on it. But first, she needs to find a killer before they decide the designer with too many questions is the next problem that needs solving.
In the fashion world, everyone wears a mask. The trick is figuring out whose is hiding murder.
