She’s working as the media liaison for Detroit mayoral candidate Leon Sorrel, and getting paid for it, too! But she’s courting danger by conducting a torrid affair with the married campaign manager, Marie Chamberlain. After discovering Marie and her husband dead in a catastrophic double murder, Lillian lands in a soup of suspicion, and Sorrel’s in trouble too.
Sorrel’s opponent, the incumbent mayor Andromeda Jacobs, isn’t above using dirty tricks to win, aided by a crooked cop and a venomous gossip columnist. When the lead detective on the murder investigation tightens the vise on Lillian, she has no choice but to square off against powerful enemies, seen and unseen, to clear herself and get Sorrel’s campaign over the finish line.
Lillian’s old pal Flora Pomeroy uses her connections among the city’s A-listers to outmaneuver their enemies, while the dashing DPD Lieutenant of Internal Affairs, Anna Hughes, employs hardball strategies to advance the murder investigation.
But when Mayor Jacobs surprises Lillian with a secret visit during which she reveals a catastrophic personal problem, the threads start to come together. And as Lillian and Anna grow closer, their challenges mount, and suddenly their lives hang in the balance. Can they confront the killer, solve the mayor’s dire trouble, and stop the chaos before the election?
