No one liked Drusilla Isaacs. She spent a lifetime alienating people, as if making the most enemies was a personal goal. Now she's dead. Shot, stabbed, and her neck broken…and that's what the coroner can tell from a first look. It's up to Maggie Blaine-former friend and one-time victim of the odious Drusilla-and Maggie's partner, Jacob Brown, to figure out who, out of a seemingly endless list of suspects, would carry out such heinous acts. Their choices are varied. From Drusilla's husbands-the former and the current-to the women in her life-her secretary, the mother of her husband's son, or the new wife of her ex-husband. There's also another option. A serial killer who randomly appears to insert himself into the mix. A tale of murder, gems, drugs, illicit sex, and a cast of villains who all have one thing in common-their hatred of Drusilla Isaacs.
