✦ Synopsis


SHE WORE CHANEL FIT FOR REVENGE.

Kat Waters, former socialite turned morgue employee, finds herself up to her Jimmy Choos in family drama when the Italian mob dumps a freezer housing a naked sombrero-clad corpse in her apartment. The mob's head honcho believes this frosty stiff is the key to uncovering a rat in his family. He wants Kat to investigate the murder, and in return, he'll share information that could spring Kat's father from prison.

HE WORE A KILLER SMILE.

Kat knows that unraveling a murder is much trickier than choosing the perfect eyeliner shade. So she enlists some reinforcements: her pot-growing drama-queen BFF, a razor-sharp reporter who's also on the hunt for romance, and a security mastermind backed by a crew of quirky misfits.

THE CORPSE WORE A SOMBRERO.

As theories pile up like last season's runway rejects, everyone is pointing fingers. And just as Kat thinks she's getting a grip, the Russian mob crashes the party, demanding her assistance with a peculiar storage problem. In a whirlwind of family feuds, mobster mayhem, and fatal encounters, one thing is clear: the only hope she has of ever seeing her stylist again lies in cracking the case, saving her family, and out-strutting a killer with a vendetta.
