Book Description
When Clara Davis grew tired of her stodgy husband Harold, she came up with an inspired plan: Why not fake her own death? And why not be paid for being dead? After all, wealthy Harold wouldn't remain a widower long, and when he remarried, Clara would demand a handsome payment to disappear and stay dead. Then when Clara spotted a woman on the street who was almost her double, she knew this was her chance...and a week later the body of a different "Clara Davis" was pulled from the river -- and the real Clara, now "Miss Solda Carmadine," had a new life. Meanwhile, Sergeant Morris of the Missing Persons Bureau had an uneasy feeling about the dead Mrs. Clara Davis and was quietly trying to answer some of his own questions. There was one little item that bothered him...and he wouldn't let go until he unravelled the mystery.

But the woman comes with a letter of introduction from an old friend in Harlem, and Louise realizes she has no choice but to do what she can to find the missing young woman. The woman’s daughter, Iris Wright, is part of an elite social circle. Louise soon finds herself drawn into a world of privilege and ice-cold ambition—a young group of artists who will do anything to get ahead—but would they murder one of their own? With the help of some friends from home, Louise must untangle a web of lies, jealousy, and betrayal to find out what really happened to Iris while fighting to keep her new life from crashing down around her.
