Synopsis

A Killer Lurks

In her quaint vintage clothing boutique in picturesque Georgetown, Karen Nevitt's laces and white linens seem so innocent. Her aunt's aged friends have even ransacked their attics to help the novice entrepreneur launch her business. The dresses they produce are exquisite--valuable designer originals from decades past--but unwittingly Karen has discovered something far more lethal than fashion trends. Concealed by the delicate fabrics is the hidden clue to a forgotten mystery, and someone is willing to kill to keep it that way.

From Library Journal:

This latest work from the prolific and successful novelist of romantic suspense features a heroine, Karen Nevitt, who begins a new life in Georgetown after her unhappy marriage crumbles. She plans to open an antique-clothing shop with the encouragement of old and new friends. But a series of seemingly unrelated yet terrifying events begins to unfold, and Karen is caught up in a web of deadly suspense on her path to success and love. Michaels has done it again with this entertaining "modern gothic" tale. Virginia A. Doser, Saddleback Coll. Lib., Mission Viejo, Cal.
