Homicide police detective, single mother of a teenage daughter, and lover to her partner Jim Kissick, Nan Vining wishes that life was a little more serene, more like it is at Georgia Berryhillβs Malibu Canyon compoundβor like itβs supposed to be there, anyway. But three bizarre deaths have brought Vining and Kissick through the exclusive gates of this healing ground for the well-heeled. First thereβs the double homicide of a celebrity private eye and his nude, drugged-out lover. Then thereβs the inexplicable drowning of a Pasadena socialite. Georgia Berryhillβ charismatic self-help guru to the starsβis one link to both investigations. A second link is Viningβs own mother, who was a friend to one of the victims and was being wooed by another. Now A-listers, wannabes, lost souls, and keepers of long-hidden secrets all converge at the Berryhill compound. Some search for love and happiness, while others come for murder.
