Bailey Weggins, the Manhattan-based thirtysomething
true-crime journalist, is enjoying her regular gig at Buzz,
a leading celebrity magazine, getting freelance work, and
hoping her first book will garner attention. In the love
department, she's finally back in the game with her
recently-turned-exclusive boyfriend, Beau Regan. When Beau
heads out of town one early December weekend, Bailey accepts
an invitation from her office friend to a music mogul's
house in the country, hoping for a fun, relaxing getaway.
But a weird tension settles over the houseguests—a
glamorous crowd that includes the famously thin supermodel
Devon Barr. So when Devon's lifeless body is found in her
bed, Bailey immediately suspects foul play: she can't stop
thinking of the day before, when a frightened Devon pleaded,
"I have to get out of here. . . . It's not safe for me."
When Bailey starts to nose around, she finds herself a
moving target—running closer to the truth and straight
into danger.
