Vee Marchand has little sympathy for dead arms smugglers. She has even less patience for living murderers.
Istanbul, 1933. An English arms broker is found dead in his boathouse with his own revolver in hand. The authorities see a guilty man's final act. His widow sees murder—and unless she can prove it, the insurers will leave her with his disgrace and his debts.
When Helena hires Vee to prove it, the case draws her into a glittering world of diplomats, shipping fortunes, and men who consider a woman's ruin an acceptable loose end.
The only enjoyable complication is Cormac Blaine, an Irish-American correspondent with an easy smile, useful instincts, and the rare good sense not to promise forever. But someone on the Bosphorus has already killed to keep a secret in motion, and Vee's questions are making her the next obstacle.
To keep Helena from paying for her husband's sins, Vee must turn a convenient suicide back into murder—before the killer closes the account for good.
A glamorous, twist-filled 1930s mystery of fair-play clues, dangerous secrets, and a romance with an expiration date. Every Vee Marchand mystery solves a complete case. Vee's own secrets travel with her.
