When a celebrated artist is found stabbed in his own studio, suspicion falls on the two women closest to him-his wife and his young model.

In the grand halls of a Long Island mansion, secrets about jewels, jealousy, and hidden relationships surface as police and coroner attempt to untangle fact from deception. The case unfolds with shifting motives and tangled alibis, where appearances prove unreliable and every witness might be hiding the truth. Second in the Alan Ford series.…mehr
