About the Book
Leonora Hutton's friend, a con artist, embezzles more than a million dollars. Accused of being in on the scam, Leonora sets out to find the cash and hand it over. Along with the money hidden in a safe deposit box is a book about a mansion filled with antique mirrors and newspaper articles about an unsolved murder. Together, Leonora and Thomas Walker must figure out what is going on.Book Synopsis
A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast--and died young. But her final scam--embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund--is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. The tainted money is stashed away in an offshore account for Leonora. And while she wants nothing to do with the cash, she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box: a book about Mirror House--the place where Meredith engineered her final deception and a set of newspaper stories about an unsolved murder that occurred there thirty years ago.
Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker, another victim of Meredith's scams and seductions. She'll hand over the money--if he helps her figure out what's going on. Meredith had described Thomas as "a man you can trust." But in a funhouse-mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league...
