A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast - and died young. But her final scam - embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund - is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. The tainted money is stashed away in an offshore account for Leonora. And while she wants nothing to do with the cash, she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box; a book about Mirror House - the place where Meredith engineered her final deception - and a set of newspaper stories about an unsolved murder that occurred there 30 years ago.

Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker, another victim of Meredith's scams and seductions. She'll hand over the money - if he helps her figure out what's going on. Meredith had described Thomas as "a man you can trust". But in a fun-house mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league.

This is classic Jayne Ann Krentz - suspense, clever, fun, with some romance thrown in.
