Finding Laura

Power and money are no protection from fate--or murder. . . .

Kay Hooper's rich, haunting voice electrified readers in the unforgettable bestseller Amanda and the darkly compelling After Caroline.  Now she delivers a powerful new tale of seductive intrigue, dangerous ambition, and the inexplicable forces that shape our lives. . . .

Over the years, the wealthy, aloof Kilbourne family has suffered a number of suspicious deaths.  There were no witnesses, never charges; only doubt and unresolved questions.  Now the charming, seductive Peter Kilbourne has been found stabbed to death in a seedy motel room.  And for Laura Sutherland, nothing will ever be the same.  Because the struggling artist was one of the last people to see Peter alive--and one of the first to be suspected of his murder.  If only Laura hadn't gone to the Kilbourne estate sale. . . But all her life she's collected mirrors, searching their reflection for something she can't explain, even to herself.  And when she found the tarnished brass hand mirror, she knew it was the one she'd been looking for all these years.  What she didn't know is why.  So when Peter Kilbourne shows up at her door, asking to buy the mirror back, Laura refuses.  

But she never imagines that his visit will irrevocably entangle her in the dangerous intrigues of a powerful dynasty.  Now, determined to clear her name and uncover the truth about the murder--and the mirror--Laura breaches the iron gates of the Kilbourne estate.  As she lets herself be drawn into their household and into their lives, she learns that each Kilbourne, from the enigmatic Daniel to the steely matriarch Amelia to Peter's disfigured widow, Kerry, has something to hide.  And when another member of the family dies an unnatural death, Laura must ask herself: Which one of them looks in the mirror and sees the reflection of a killer?  And which one will choose Laura to be the next to die?
