When a high-rolling Vegas collector is found shot execution-style in his penthouse, Detective Pilot's investigation leads him into the underground market for celebrity memorabilia-where wealthy collectors pay millions for pieces of tragedy they can never display.
Rodney Catcher dealt in forbidden artifacts. His beautiful young wife Penny claims she was out of town when he died, but her story doesn't add up. Neither does the mysterious Brit found murdered two days later. Both men possessed something connected to Princess Diana's final night in Paris-something worth killing for.
Penny is trapped in an abusive marriage, desperate for escape. She's also smart, beautiful, and possibly guilty of double murder. When she asks Pilot to meet her alone, he knows he's crossing a line that could end his career.
In a city built on beautiful replicas, nothing is what it seems. Pilot must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to save a woman who may not deserve saving.
A crime novel about desire, deception, and the deadly price of authenticity.
