“Mignon Eberhart’s name on mysteries is like sterling on silver.” —The Miami News

Well-known criminal lawyer Orle Hilliard lived an expensive lifestyle and possessed expensive secrets—secrets some of his clients would prefer to remain hidden. Before his death, Orle wrote blackmail letters to five clients in a last-ditch effort to provide security for his only daughter. But now that he’s dead, he’s left young Fran Hilliard in Italy with nothing but trouble . . .

When a recipient of one of the letters finds Fran in Nice, she finds herself thrust into a shadowy world of danger. Suddenly she is frantically piecing together the life of a father she barely knew and searching for a diary that could reopen the case of an unsolved murder . . . and potentially prevent another . . .
