Was the sudden death of Cynthia January accidental, as the police claim, or was it murder? Hired by her sister Sarah, red-headed PI Deirdre Cash agrees that it is unlikely to have been accidental. She begins her investigation with a visit to the palatial mansion of the fascinating Crystal January and meets Crystal’s brother Drake, whom she discovers to be more than merely fascinating. In her pursuit of evidence, she encounters a bevy of beautiful women, along with police, attorneys, and others who keep her interested. After Sarah is murdered at Crystal’s mansion, Deirdre’s persistence leads to attempts on her own life. A case that began with a visit to Crystal’s palace ends there in its ruins and Deirdre’s life is never the same.
