Synopsis

Paris has built a fortune teaching people to watch the dress. Vee Marchand watches the hands.

Paris, 1934. At the House of Belladone's most important showing, a model wearing the season's most guarded gown steps into eleven seconds of darkness—and vanishes from a room watched in three mirrors.

Vee was hired to prevent a theft. Now a young woman is missing, Belladone's chief cutter is dead in a dress lift that should not have moved, and everyone in the glittering salon has a different reason to keep the police looking at the wrong door.

To find the model alive, Vee must enter the private world behind Paris couture: the exhausted hands that make famous names, the rivalries sewn beneath perfect seams, and the men who profit when women's work goes unseen. Gabriel Darras, a former ballet dancer who understands bodies and false sightlines, proves an elegant distraction—and a useful one.

In a house designed to control every gaze, the killer has made one mistake: Vee has never looked where she was told.

A stylish impossible-crime mystery of couture, murder, and dangerous attraction. Every Vee Marchand mystery solves a complete case. Vee's own secrets travel with her.
