Synopsis

Savvy And Stylish Lacy Fields Has A Killer Instinct For Tracking Down Priceless Antique Furnityre. But Can She Also Find A Murderer?

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. Outraged that her handsome Dan is accused of murdering a young wannabe actress, Lacy discovers that her talent for hunting heirlooms can also help her chase a clever killer.

Lacy is sure her husband has been wrongly accused - but how can she 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.

Along with her best friend, hot L.A. casting agent Molly Archer, Lacy shadows suspects ranging from a sleazy network Tv star to an advertising exec who shoots Super Bowl commercials set on the moon. After she stumbles onto a George Clooney movie set clad only in La Perla lace underwear, Lacy learns she could be the killer's next victim. . .
