Fashion Victim

As a top fashion stylist, Dallas O'Connor has a reputation for putting it all together. But she's never had an assignment like this one, a chance to create the "look" of a new, all-girl band shooting their first music video on a private Caribbean island in an exclusive, luxurious castle. Stepping onto the castle's lush grounds, Dallas is met by the proprietor, a local priestess named Mama Garcia, who skips the hellos to hiss, "Dat girl, she wear de face of Death." It's hardly a cheery welcome for the sometime sleuth who has seen more than her share of untimely death. But when the scenery is velvety, the drinks are cold, and the money's good, who cares about bad juju warnings?

What she's not ready for is the dead body that washes up on the beach, then disappears without a trace. The girls laugh it off to a bad hangover from too much rum punch. But no one's laughing when one of the girls is nearly poisoned to death. And when another body is found stabbed to death, Dallas's tropical paradise goes from slice of heaven to glittering morgue...
