Mystery Woman Sleuth
"L.A. Times reporter Eve Diamond has been looking forward
to a romantic date with her new love, Silvio Aguilar, for
quite some time. She envisions opening night at the
theater, cocktails, and then a sultry evening to catch up
on all they've been missing. But when the play's beautiful
and notoriously unstable lead actress, Catarina Velosi,
fails to appear, Eve learns that Silvio and the missing
woman share a complicated past. And his friend, gangbanger-
turned-playwright Alfonso Reventon, may know more than he
lets on when he dispatches Silvio to Catarina's Echo Park
bungalow to check up on his leading lady." "A messy scene
indicates that Catarina could have been abducted - or
worse - and when it becomes clear that Silvio is no
stranger to the actress's home, or her bed, Eve must
stifle her own feelings of betrayal and fight to clear his
name. She knows Silvio is innocent...or does she?" "Summoning her journalist's skills and steeling herself
for further revelations, Eve methodically approaches the
players in Catarina's personal tragedy, including Alfonso,
the actress's sometime lover and director, and the high-
strung and evasive Marisela Reventon, Alfonso's jealous
wife. An enigmatic drama instructor, a powerful movie
mogul, and a lecherous political yes-man round out the
intriguing cast. Is one of them hiding something that
might lead Eve to the truth? And who is responsible for
attacking her in a darkened street and threatening her
life?" To complicate matters, Eve's been assigned to
mentor young African-American reporter Felice Morgan, who
insinuates herself into the case at every turn. Felice's
overeager boasting on the job escalates into outright
lies, testing Eve's conscience as a reporter and a friend.
As Eve begins to suspect Felice of unethical journalism,
she navigates a treacherous landscape in both her
professional and personal life. From the barrio to the
newsroom, nothing - and no one - can be taken at face
value in this intoxicating tale of scanda
