K. Wood

From Venice Beach and West Hollywood to San Francisco's western edge, a woman follows a tenuous thread of taunting and sinister clues in an obsessive search for the causes of her cousin's suicide-a journey of revenge and self-discovery. Bella Marx arrives in Venice to visit her cousin, Katy, a troubled woman living in a run-down beachfront apartment and working off-and-on for a Hollywood script agent. In the shadows of Katy's unlit kitchen, Bella finds the crouching form of her cousin, dead by her own hand. Suicide can be murder.
