Mystery Woman Sleuth
"Los Angeles Times reporter Eve Diamond usually works out
of the paper's San Gabriel Valley bureau, but she's taking
a weekend shift downtown when a distraught Vincent
Chevalier breaks through security and demands her
help." "His fifteen-year-old daughter, Isabel, is missing,
and the cops won't go looking for her until forty-eight
hours have passed. The man thinks he knows where she might
be - with some runaways in a dismal squat in East
Hollywood. He wants Eve as his witness when he enters the
squat and tries to bring Isabel home. Eve senses a
possible story. Why would a privileged young girl from
Pasadena spend time with the down-and-outs in East
Hollywood? But there will be no interview with Isabel.
Isabel is dead, her body wrapped in a dirty futon and
abandoned in a derelict basement." "Eve's questions have
only begun. What brought the blond-haired teenager to such
a tragic, early demise? Did a man named Finch, who's had
past arrests for drugs, burglary, and theft, have
something to do with Isabel's murder? What about her
father? There's something unsettling about him. And what
was Isabel's relationship with Paolo Langdon, her
schoolmate and the son of a socialite hostess and a
prominent politician?" Even as Eve must fight against
powerful forces that want her off the story, she finds
herself emotionally drawn to the brooding scion of a
Mexican music-promotion titan. It's dangerous to mix
professional with personal, but Silvio Aguilar is hard to
resist. And in his world, in the little sugar skull
confections that commemorate the Mexican Day of the Dead,
Eve may find some clue to a killer.
