Hipper than hip.”—Denver Rocky Mountain News Sexy, savvy sculptor-turned-sleuth Sam Jones attracts trouble like she does men. When her sculpture Thing III is unveiled at a swank reception in the atrium of a London bank, a dead body crashes the party. From there, events take a distinctly dangerous turn.

By the end of the week even the usually tough-as-nails Sam is running scared. She needs to get to the bottom of it all—before she turns up dead herself.

Costretta a cambiare scuola e a trasferirsi presso la zia Gwen, arcigna e ostile, la ragazza non ha però nessuna intenzione di abbandonare le indagini che riguardano il decesso di Dan – soprattutto dopo aver scoperto di essere stata usata come pedina in quel terribile episodio. Perciò, facendo squadra con un’americana brusca ma che è l’unica che Scarlett possa considerare davvero un’amica, decide di partire alla volta della Scozia, per raggiungere la dimora storica dei McAndrew e cercare di chiarire una volta per tutte come si sia arrivati a quell’orribile omicidio. Laggiù conoscono Callum, il gemello di Dan, e ben presto Scarlett si rende conto che lui è in pericolo, così come potrebbe esserlo anche lei stessa se continua a indagare: ma è in gioco il suo onore, e inoltre ora nella sua vita è entrato Jase, l’unico che la fa sentire davvero al sicuro...
