Bertie Mallowan has just interviewed Robert Bellingham in his mansion about his multi-million dollar luxary items empire. But now her soft feature has become a hard news item, now that someone has bludgeoned the old devil to death. Competing for space on the front page with her sometime lover and boy-toy, Shawn Fuchs, Bertie can't seem to catch a break, not from her editor, not from the plice detective assigned to the case. Until things start happening. Things like...break-ins, stalkings, a confrontation with a possible suspect (no matter how sexy he may be), eccentric family members with wild ideas of their own, and a faded relic from Hollywood's Golden Age.
