Book description
Devastated by the end of her relationship, our heroine swaps her
catsuit for pyjamas and hides away from the world. But her friends from
the nightclub refuse to let her waste away in self-pity and drag her out
to make up the numbers for a party. Only full make-up will suffice, and
there's serious grooming to be done before our girl's up to the
challenge - her state of misery has left her so thin that even her
favourite Audrey Hepburn number doesn't cling the way it should. At the
soire, she becomes entranced with a powerful married man, but it's
unlikely their paths will cross again. Until a body is found in the
street, stabbed to death - the victim, a gigolo, has connections to the
object of her affection. And it seems that the gigolo lifestyle can
leave one, ahem, exposed to hidden dangers. Our girl valiantly agrees to
take on the case - any meetings with her beloved are an incidental added
bonus. Devastated by the end of her relationship, our heroine swaps
