Publisher Description
As the wife of a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, a dedicated mother of three, and an absolutely fabulous decorator to the stars, Lacy Fields is stunned to the tips of her Chanel-manicured toenails the night the police barge into her house and haul her husband off in handcuffs. With her handsome Dan accused of murdering a young wannabe actress named Tasha Barlow, Lacy turns her talent from tracking down priceless antique furniture to chasing a clever killer.
Lacy is sure her husband has been wrongly accused -- but how to explain his mysterious behavior? Known as the Saint of Hollywood for his skill with a scalpel, Dan seems to be keeping a secret or two. Still Lacy won't lose her faith or her determination to find the real murderer.
With her best friend Molly Archer, a hot L.A. casting agent, at her side, Lacy tracks suspects ranging from a sleazy network TV star to an advertising exec who shoots Super Bowl commercials set on the moon. Is Tasha's loyal hometown friend really an enemy? Did an ex-con from her past return to destroy Tasha's new life? Lacy Fields will stop at nothing to protect her family -- whether it's searching for the person who framed her husband or keeping the black hair dye away from her fourteen-year-old daughter.
Cleverly pairing the day-to-day details of suburban life with delicious insider glamour, Looks to Die For marks the debut of a savvy and stylish new voice in suspense fiction.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Having collaborated on three books with Lynn Schnurnberger (The Men I Didn't Marry, etc.), Kaplan flies solo in\t\t this zany crime novel introducing ace amateur sleuth Lacy Fields. A well-heeled\t\t Los Angeles matron and celebrity interior designer giddy about clothes,\t\t furniture and keeping up with the Joneses, Lacy adores her children and her\t\t glamorous hubby, Dr. Dan, a popular plastic surgeon known as the "Saint of\t\t Hollywood." When Dan's arrested for the murder of Tasha Barlow, a young\t\t actress, and the police and even Dan's attorney believe he's guilty, the\t\t devastated Lacy launches her own no-holds barred investigation. Lacy survives\t\t tangling with an ex-con, arriving at George Clooney's movie-set trailer in\t\t nothing but La Perla lingerie, finding a dead body in the trunk of her Lexus\t\t and wrestling with a crazed commercial producer. Name-dropping, price-quoting\t\t Lacy is a hoot as she makes the best of many tight situations, like the time\t\t she wore "that size 6 Dolce & Gabbana gown to a charity ball." Suspense\t\t fans looking for frothy, wacky fun will be well rewarded.\t\t 8-city author tour.
