It's a Tempest in a C-Cup!
Because murder is busting out all over...
Things are going great for the Blackbirds. Columnist Nora is still dating mobster's son Michael Abruzzo, Emma's recovering nicely in a clinic for the rich and infamous, and Libby's pleased about her new career with Potions and Passions, a company that keeps its customers very satisfied. Best of all, nobody in Nora's vicinity has been knocked off lately.
Nora's next journalistic assignment: cover the unveiling of the most miraculous bra in fashion history. But before Nora can hand in her uplifting story, her boss is discovered shot execution-style and trussed up in expensive panty hosean Abruzzo family trademark.
Now it's up to Nora to find the killer before her innocent lover takes the rap. That means shadowing the most glamorous suspects in Philadelphiaincluding a bad-boy designer, a former child star, a neurotic neat freak, a high-strung ad exec, and a pair of luscious twin models on the rise. Though Nora's accustomed to "murder with style," cross your fingers for the Blackbird sisters, because this time, high society has never seemed so low-down dirty.
Like her heroines the Blackbird Sisters, Nancy Martin comes from a distinguished Pennsylvania family whose ancestors include Betsy Ross and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She has written numerous romance novels, directed a few Shakepearean plays, and raised two delightful daughters.
