In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of publicity that eluded her in life. Twenty years ago, the ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity impersonator, too busy to spare much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi<U+2019>s profile was rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows the truth isn<U+2019>t so simple. Because though the broken body on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi<U+2019>s clothes and wig, it isn<U+2019>t Didi. Remmi was fifteen when she last saw her mother.

Then Didi disappeared, as did Remmi<U+2019>s other half-sibling. The authorities have found no clues. Yet Remmi has always sensed that someone is watching her . . . Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was also in the desert that night, and now runs his own PI firm. He too believes it<U+2019>s time to find out what happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the truth about Remmi<U+2019>s missing family begins to emerge<U+2014>a story of ruthless ambition and lies that someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .
