Plus-sized P.I. Savannah Reid prides herself on cracking
even the toughest cases. But her latest investigation is
leaving her hungry for answers as she tries to unmask the
identity of a cunning, would-be killer. His prey? A famous
octogenarian with a fortune in the bank and a target on her
back…
As the creator of the world-famous Helene doll, legendary
designer Helene Strauss is equally well-known for her
exquisite taste and her brassy, take-no-prisoners style.
While Helene’s business acumen made her a huge success, it
also made her a quite a few enemies. So when the feisty
80-year-old has several suspicious brushes with death,
Savannah Reid is hired to find out why.
Once on the case, Savannah quickly learns that tensions
within the Strauss family have been raging for years. To
Helene’s chagrin, her niece and arch nemesis, Ava, has
managed to claw her way to the helm of the family doll
company, steering the business in a seedy new direction.
Their latest creation—a sexy fashion doll replete with
oversized lips and an over-the-top boob job—has Helene
particularly rankled…leaving Savannah to wonder if the
family ties that bind the Strauss’ are tight enough to kill.
With the help of her friend, Detective Dirk Coulter,
Savannah discovers that Ava isn’t the only one with a motive
to do Helene harm. In fact, the Strauss matriarch seems to
be surrounded by friends and family bent on inheriting her
fortune by any means necessary. Before long, Savannah is
sure she has a handle on the case. But when two key players
turn up dead in Helene’s sizzling hot Jacuzzi, Savannah will
have to start from scratch—and question everything she
thought she knew about the Strauss’s twisted family tree…
