At a party in Manhattan, Maggie Holloway -- one of the fashion world's most successful photographers -- is thrilled to be reunited with her beloved former stepmother. A widow now, Nuala Moore is equally delighted to see her long-lost stepdaughter, and invites Maggie to spend a few weeks at her home in Newport, Rhode Island.
But when Maggie arrives, she finds Nuala murdered, apparently by a burglar. Heartbroken, Maggie is stunned to learn she has inherited Nuala's charming Victorian home...and horrified when she begins to suspect that Nuala's death was not random, but part of a larger scheme conceived by a twisted mind. When Nuala's dear old friend, Greta Shipley, dies suddenly of supposedly natural causes, Maggie is convinced there's a link between these two and other recent deaths among the wealthy older women of Newport. What she doesn't realize is that she has now become a target for the killer as well, amd that each clue she uncovers brings her closer to an unimaginable fate.
