Secrets have a way of blowing up ...
A safe, doable case. Easy-peasy for a change. Not too much to ask, right? Private eye Story Smith only had to go undercover to a ritzy party to find a missing necklace. And take dreamboat competitor, Steve Evans, as her pretend date.
Recovering from a recent shoot-out, Story longed to get back in the game. How hard could it be to search a mansion full of tipsy guests without getting caught?
Until someone at the party ends up dead. In what looks like murder. And Story's simple case turns into a complex murder investigation. Complex because the victim had scandalous secrets. Complex because Story's prime suspect could be a dead war hero. Complex because Steve is also on the hunt for the killer.
Before she knows it, Story is thrust into a dangerous, tangled web of mystery and deception reaching far back into the past. A web she and Steve must unravel as they race from wealthy Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia to beachside Cape May, New Jersey to stop a killer hellbent on revenge.
Because the killer is on a desperate hunt for a treasure and will stop at nothing, not even a shooting, kidnapping, or harrowing boat ride, to find it.
Much is risked, and much is gained in this romantic thriller set in the summer of 1955. Along the way, Story realizes that savvy private investigators should expect nothing, be open to everything, and be prepared for anything.
And that she'd rather die with Steve than live without him.
