To find the murderer, Marisa partners with unusual collaborators. Dithering Russell is focused on ferreting out secrets, including her colorful past.

The clues point to the shadowy underbelly of a notorious club, the setting for the glittering fool’s gold of her old double life. Can Marisa and her friends solve the mystery before the murderer strikes again?
