Smoke in Mirrors

A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast and died young. Now it appears that Meredith's last scam is coming back to haunt her friend Leonora Hutton. An email has just arrived in which Meredith - in fear for her life - explains that well over a million dollars in embezzled funds is waiting for Leonora in an offshore account . . . and a safe-deposit key is on the way. Leonora wants nothing to do with the tainted money, taken from an endowment fund at a small college. She's already been accused of being in on the theft by Thomas Walker - who, apparently, was a victim of Meredith's knack for both scams and seductions. Eager to prove him wrong and escape this mess, Leonora sets out to collect the cash and hand it over.
