Описание: Critically acclaimed author, Barbara Bourland walks the line between serious and comedy so deftly, in this bloodthirsty send-up to high fashion and the seductive power of fame (Fortune).

Every weekday morning, as the sun rose above Sixth Avenue, a peerless crop of women-frames poised, behavior polished, networks connected, and bodies generally buffed to a high sheen-were herded by the cattle prod of their own ambition to one particular building. Theyre smart, stylish, and sophisticated, even the one found dead in her office.

When stylish Hillary Whitney dies alone in a locked, windowless conference room at the offices of RAGE Fashion Book, her death is initially ruled an unfortunate side effect of the unrelenting pressure to be thin. But Hillarys best friend and fellow RAGE editor Catherine Ono knows her friends dieting wasnt a capital P problem. If beauty could kill, itd take more than that.

When two months later, a cryptic note in Hillarys handwriting ends up in the office of the NYPD and the case is reopened, Det. Mark Hutton is led straight into the glamorous world of RAGE and into the life of hot-headed and fiercely fabulous Cat, who insists on joining the investigation. Surrounded by a supporting cast of party girls, Type A narcissists and half- dead socialites, Cat and her colleague Bess Bonner are determined to solve the case and achieve sartorial perfection. But their amateur detective work has disastrous results, and the two ing nues are caught in a web of drugs, sex, lies and moisturizer that changes their lives forever.

Viciously funny, this sharp and satirical take on the politics of womens bodies and womens work is an addictive debut novel that dazzles with style and savoire faire.
