Behind every mask is a motive...

It was supposed to be a night of music, mystery, and masked flirtation.

When vintage-loving photographer Birdie Lopez receives an invitation to an exclusive masquerade at the opulent Bellrose Estate, she expects a chance to capture glamorous snapshots—and maybe enjoy a few stolen moments with her charming date, Mason Moon.

But when a famed socialite is found dead behind velvet drapes, the party takes a deadly turn.

With whispers of a secret brought back from abroad, a suspicious treasure hunt, and a masked stranger known only as The Wolf, Birdie is thrust into a chilling game of cat and mouse. Following her instincts—and the ever-keen nose of her hound, Butterscotch—Birdie finds herself drawn into a labyrinth of secrets hidden behind gilded doors and carefully constructed alibis.

Everyone is in disguise.
But someone's mask is hiding more than just their face...

Fans of clever canine sidekicks won't want to miss this witty and atmospheric mystery full of charm, secrets, and one unforgettable masquerade.
