About this ebook
Murder harboured no bigotry, no bias. It subscribed to no class system. In its gleeful, deadly way, murder turned a blind eye.
Scandalous death sells papers. But as the media frenzy feeds on the wealthy Thomas Anders, strangled to death with black velvet in his plush Park Avenue apartment, Lieutenant Eve Dallas grapples with just one question: a crime of passion or a cold extermination?
Things don't add up. The victim didn't struggle and everyone has an alibi. And when a throwaway comment opens up a horrifying secret, Eve is fighting for far more than justice.

Unfortunately due to the title, & having seen the film, I twigged early on to where the story was going. However it was still an entertaining & amusing read, not the best of the series, but don't begrudge the use of an old but excellent murder plot. The author managed to hold my interest throughout.
