Publisher Description
A seductive socialite entangles a Palm Beach sleuth in a viper's nest of lust and larceny in this New York Times bestseller.
Checking out the background of a wealthy client's prospective daughter-in-law should be easy money for Palm Beach private investigator Archy McNally—until people around gorgeous socialite Theodosia Johnson start being killed off at an alarming rate.
The first to die is Theodosia's portrait painter, who gets his throat slashed. Next, a blackmailing stripper ends up with a bullet in her head. McNally must expose the killer, but it's Theodosia, herself, who turns out to be the biggest mystery of all. When she sets out to seduce McNally, he isn't sure whether he's being played, so he orchestrates his own scam to uncover the truth. If his scheme backfires, it could cost the dapper detective his livelihood—and his life.

McNally’s Risk
When Archy McNally investigates a young woman for one of his father’s clients, he learns more about her than he expects. He also finds himself curious about murders that seem linked to her associates. This doesn’t distract him from his playboy ways or appreciating food. Will his investigation lead him into trouble? Will he find the answers he wants? Or even the ones the client is seeking?
Honestly, Archy isn’t the most endearing person. He chases every skirt he sees and then wants his number one girl to stay faithful. His writing style comes off as friendly, like he is regaling his friends with his adventures, which was amusing.
