Bankable bestseller Susan Isaacs (SHINING THROUGH) adds a murderous twist to her usual stinging candor and domestic wit in this tawdry tale of an imperious Long Island widow who fights to restore her husband's and her family's reputation after he is found dead in the apartment of a call girl. After receiving the bad news, Susie Gerstens finds that her requisite grief over the loss of her soul mate is eclipsed by her outrage at having her perfect life called into question by family, friends, and colleagues, and she resolves to prove that the police's simplistic explanation for the slaying is bogus.
