Sunny Alvarez’s life is looking decidedly bleak. For what seems like the umpteenth time, her perennial fiance, TV celebrity detective Mac Reilly, has postponed their wedding in favor of a demanding case. Tired of playing second banana to Mac’s career, Sunny impulsively hops a jet to Paris on Christmas Eve, where she meets the tender, dashing, and oh-so empathetic Eddie Johanssen, who convinces her to fly on to Monte Carlo instead. Bad move. Deep into her lonely holiday pity party, Sunny meets the predatory and unfortunately named Kitty Ratte, a sociopathic prostitute, and jewelry designer Maha Mondragon, an enigmatic Indian businesswoman who makes Sunny an offer she can’t, but should, refuse. While Sunny embarks on a dangerous mission to Mumbai for Maha’s jewelry company, Eddie is blackmailed concerning Kitty’s deviant sexcapades, and only one person–supersleuth Mac Reilly–can save them both. As bright and breezy as a sun-drenched Riviera beach, Adler’s taut romantic mystery manages to thrum with palpable tension.–Carol Haggas
