Bailey Weggins, the thirty-something true-crime journalist for Buzz, a leading celebrity magazine, needs a break. Plenty busy with her day job, her freelance work, and trying to get her first book noticed, she barely has time for her recently exclusive boyfriend, Beau Regan, much less herself. When Beau goes out of town, Bailey accepts an invitation with her friend Jesse to a music mogul's weekend house in upstate New York. But, the relaxing weekend getaway turns out to be more like an Agatha Christie whodunit. A weird tension has infected all the guests---a glamorous crowd of journalists and models, including the famous, and famously thin, supermodel Devon Barr. An impending snowstorm only adds to the tension. When Devon's cold, lifeless body is found in her bed, Bailey immediately suspects foul play: she can't shake the memory of a fearful and angry Devon shivering in the woods outside the house, whispering , "I have to get out here . . . It's not safe for me." When evidence goes missing from the crime scene, Bailey once again finds herself a moving target---running closer to the truth and even closer to danger.
