The Story
Lauren Green never expected to be a suspect in a murder investigation on her first day at D.C.-based Lens magazine. But then again, nothing had been going well lately.
Dumped by her fiancé, her academic career floundering, and her living situation up in the air, she's barely holding things together. She knows she didn't kill reporter Tony Mandel. But who did? Surrounded by murder suspects-including one whom she finds surprisingly intriguing-Lauren tries to piece the clues together, not only about Tony Mandel's death but also about her own life.
