Hardback: Through tattered clothes great vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. - King Lear, William Shakespeare
New York City is one of the fashion capitals of the world, well known for its glamour and style. Yet high fashion means high stakes, as Alex Cooper discovers when designer Wolf Savage is found dead in an apparent suicide days before the biggest show of his career.
When Savage's daughter insists his death was murder, the case becomes a media sensation.
With her own job at the DA's office in jeopardy, and spiralling into a reliance on alcohol, Alex is not anyone's first choice for help. But she is determined to uncover the grime - and the possible homicide - beneath the glitz.
Soon she and police detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace are investigating the family secrets Savage kept so well hidden, even from those closest to him - just as things are about to get deadly on the catwalk.
