When Joanna Hayworth visits Bradley Stroden, a onetime prot g of legendary costume designer Edith Head, she expects to find closets bulging with drool-worthy gowns to stock her Portland, Oregon, vintage clothing store.
Joanna\'s new marriage--and, possibly, her life itself--depend on figuring out who is acting and who is for real..
Her houseguest has some explaining to do.
Could it be tied to the tell-all Hollywood memoir he was writing? Or to a midcentury film noir that was mysteriously yanked before it was released? Or to his "adoring" sister? At the same time, Joanna stumbles upon a priceless pair of emerald earrings hidden on her laundry shelf.
With movie costumes as bait, Joanna investigates why Stroden was murdered.
Instead, she finds a corpse.
