A medical examiner's assistant with a passion for crime solving, Liz Rooney is fascinated by the sensational murder of a rich playboy.
Someone poisoned the handsome aristocrat in his lavish penthouse apartment.
The police swiftly arrest the man's longtime butler, suspecting he hastened his employer's demise—and his own sizeable inheritance—with a deadly cup of coffee.
Liz, though, wonders about a gorgeous woman who was seen leaving the victim's apartment.
It seems the mystery lady was not the billionaire's current girlfriend, but a model he'd dallied with while away on business.
Did the scorned beauty refuse to accept "it's over" by killing her lover?
Liz suspects so. Until she makes a bizarre discovery on a gurney in her morgue that changes everything.
Liz must piece together a crime of lust and betrayal—where passion can be lethal.
