Book Synopsis

It's 1998. The turn of the millennia is near. Interior Designer Lois Pushkin's sole goal in life is to make it in the unforgiving, competitive design climate of Los Angeles, California and prove her mother wrong. Escaping the Pacific Northwest for a sunnier climate, Lois begins to work her way up in one of the best architecture firms in the city. When her aunt dies, Lois inherits an apartment building and thinks she's cashed in on her golden goose. After quitting her job, Lois starts her own firm in a trendy, expensive location believing the apartments are going to pay her way. Then, her crazy aunt's other shoe drops and Lois is instantly cash poor and asset rich. With no big money clients, her new design firm is a breath away from all falling apart. After the perfect job drops into her lap, Lois is finally off and running to make a name for herself with the celebrity jet set. Everything is coming together - work, love, money - until it all comes to a screeching halt when her best paying, most famous client dies. The LAPD labels the death as a suicide, until Lois becomes a Person of Interest and the shoes really start dropping.
