Charlotte "Charlie" McNally and her TV producer,
Franklin "Franko" Parrish, are once again ready to take on
a special case. Charlie is an investigative reporter for
Channel 3 TV assigned to pursue the mystery of the knock-
off purses. Flying back to Boston, Charlie realizes the
ticket attendant issued a second luggage tag when she only
checked one piece of luggage. When retrieving her bag in
Boston, she aids a classy woman taking her large suitcase
off the luggage carousel. The funny thing is she can't
recall the lady being on her flight. The lady then gives
her an invitation to a purse party.
While investigating and masquerading as a housewife to
attend the purse party, it becomes obvious someone is
making a killing selling the counterfeit purses being
copied from the exclusive Delleton-Marachelles purse line.
Franko and Charlie learn how to tell the difference between
a genuine purse and a copy from Zuzu Mazny-Latos and Luca
Chartiers, executives of the family-owned company. This is
the beginning of dodging danger while pushing her professor
boyfriend, Josh, to the background. Charlie and Franko
endanger their lives by joining the FBI in a sting to take
the perpetrators down. Receiving threatening anonymous
calls and FBI officers being killed is still not enough to
stop Charlie. Her motto is reporting "The Real Thing."
This third novel about the feisty and dedicated reporter
Charlotte McNally is equally exciting as the previous ones.
Hank Phillippi Ryan has created another action-
packed adventure with the danger-seeking woman obsessed
with an inquiring mind who will do anything to get "that
story" on the air. Definitely fun and clever reading that
keeps you on the edge waiting for the next word. Absolutely
a recommended read.
Star reporter Charlotte McNally enters the glamorous and
high-stakes world of high fashion...and soon discovers when
the purses are fake—the danger is real.
To break her latest big-money blockbuster, Charlotte must go
undercover—but what if the bad guys recognize her?
This
savvy TV journalist must face more than her fear of flying
when her inside scoop on designer duplicates suddenly turns
deadly.
Carrying a hidden camera and dressing to deceive, Charlie
finds she's not the only one disguising her identity.
Nothing...and no one...is what they seem. And that means
nothing...and no one...can be trusted. In her high-risk job
and
in her suddenly steamy love life, how can she tell the real
thing?
Charlie is forced to make some life-changing— "and
life and
death" decisions. With only a split-second to act and with
her own life in the balance, Charlie knows if she chooses
wrong it will be the last decision she ever makes.
