A suspicious party invitation is stuffed in Nathan's mailbox. Should he fear for his safety, sanity, and Swiss bank accounts?

Nathan Tanyon's encounters with a ditzy social climber are hardly by chance. Helena Arntree claims to know far more details than the police about the death of Nathan's wealthy aunt.

Nathan insists she has it all wrong, but she manipulates him into some compromising positions that might harm his credibility. He pays her a healthy sum to keep her mouth shut and go away. So she vanishes—at least for awhile.

Two years later she invites him to a costume party in honor of her recent marriage to a man she doesn't bother to name. Nathan soon finds out the real reason for the invite. When he contemplates skipping the party, he fears doing so might place him in even greater danger.

Can he ever escape this woman? Just how much is Nathan willing to sacrifice to keep Miss Arntree from spinning her fanciful tales?

Just what is the ultimate price of silence?
