Models — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Kendall Dee disappears on her first day as a professional hairdresser at a New York Fashion Week runway show. When she turns up murdered, her friend Corry Lindstrom decides to find out what happened. Because Corry, a professional fashion photographer, got Kendall the job in the first place. A job that put Kendall in a kind of danger no one expected. Chosen by the readers of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as one of the top five stories of the year, “Models” takes place in a world not often seen by outsiders -- a place where glamour gives way to sweat, and jealousy can lead to murder.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”
