Neeve Kearny may be the only person in New York worried about the disappearance of Ethel Lambston.
Ethel, a bestselling author famous for her juicy exposΓs, is one of the best customers at Neeveβs exclusive Madison Avenue boutique. But Ethelβs ex-husband, her parasitical nephew, and the fashion moguls skewered in her latest article all have reason to be glad sheβs no longer around.
When Ethel Lambston is found with her throat cut, Neeveβs memories of her motherβs long-unsolved murder loom up once again. Now, as an innocent witness in the Lambston investigation, Neeve is drawn into a new nightmare . . . a sinister labyrinth of greed and ambition that will lead her into mortal danger.
