“Howell’s winning debut introduces Haley Randolph … a cool cliffhanger will leave readers eager for Haley’s next adventure.”

--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

 

When Haley Randolph declares she’ll kill for that Kate Spade handbag she spots in an exclusive L.A shop, no one takes her seriously – until a dead body turns up. 

Forced to take a part-time job at a less-than-glamorous department store, Haley’s journey to The Dark Side of retail isn’t great.  She can’t quite pull off the store’s required of-course-you-can smile, and customers keep expecting her to wait on them. 

With homicide detectives gathering evidence against her, and a department store owner who somehow knows all her worst secrets, Haley discovers she’s not the only one with a passion for handbags.  And that someone really is willing to kill for them!
