Alexandra Cooper thought Fashion Week would be all runway shows and designer gowns. She was wrong. When a killer strikes in the heart of New York's Garment District during the city's most glamorous week, Alex finds herself pulled into a world where creativity and cutthroat competition collide. Working alongside Detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, she must navigate the fashion industry's hidden rivalries and deadly secrets. The glittering surface of haute couture conceals dangerous ambitions, and someone is willing to kill to protect them. As Alex digs deeper into the victim's connections to major fashion houses and emerging designers, she realizes the murderer might be hiding in plain sight among the models, photographers, and power brokers who make Fashion Week possible. With each lead taking her further into an industry built on image and illusion, Alex races to unmask a killer before another victim falls. The stakes are higher than any runway show, and one wrong step could be fatal.
