Sophie Katz thinks her biggest problem is choosing between stilettos and pumps for her book signing. Then she discovers a dead body in her apartment building and realizes someone wants her latest mystery novel to become her obituary. The police dismiss her theories about the killer's identity. Her friends think she watches too much CSI. But Sophie knows the difference between fiction and reality, even when both involve beautiful corpses and ugly motives. She trades her writing desk for detective work, following clues through San Francisco's social scene. Each lead brings new dangers and forces Sophie to question everyone around her. The killer stays one step ahead while Sophie struggles to separate paranoia from genuine threats. Her investigation reveals secrets that make her own complicated love life seem simple. Sophie must solve the case before she becomes the next victim, but the truth might cost her everything she values most.
