Robin "Birdie" Byrnes is just trying to survive a gala without tripping over a body. Spoiler: she fails. Spectacularly. A glittering Palm Beach gala for single mothers erupts into chaos when an auctioneer keels over, followed by the co-chair. A moment later, Birdie learns a million-dollar necklace up and vanished. Birdie's reluctantly pulled back into the detective game she thought she'd left behind.

The suspects are mostly from one family, the motives are hopelessly tangled, and the stakes more personal than she expected. With her best friend by her side, old allies counting on her, and secrets making everything dang-near impossible, Birdie must learn that appearances deceive, and loyalty can be lethal.

Palm Beach has never been so deadly; or so deliciously dramatic.
