The evening takes an unexpected turn when the hotel owner commissions her to paint a portrait of his provocative daughter. But when a dead body is found in one of the rooms, Calypso immediately comes under the suspicion of the investigating police detective.

But though she has an alibi, telling the truth about where she was and what she did that evening will cause a whole other kind of trouble for her. Determined to clear her name, Calypso enters a tangled web of deceit and hidden motives, in which no one in a cast of intriguing characters is quite what they seem. And the secret connections between them astonish her at every step of the way.

Can Calypso track down the real killer and uncover their motive before anyone else dies?
