Bailey's in bed with her commitment-phobic lover when she gets a frantic call from Cat Jones, her boss at Gloss magazine. It turns out that something is seriously clashing with the décor in Cat's chic Upper East Side town house: the dead body of the family's nanny.
When Cat appears to have been the intended victim, Bailey is suddenly up to her bed head in a high-profile investigation that's perfect fodder for the tabloids. Faced with a glittering array of A-list suspects, Bailey's soon hotfooting on her blood-red slingbacks from Manhattan's exclusive enclaves to the tony estates of Connecticut in search of a killer story - and a murderer who could delete her name from the masthead for good.
