Is it coincidence or Deadly Destiny?
Private Investigator Liz Talbot thinks sheâs seen another ghost when she meets Calista McQueen. Sheâs the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. Born exactly fifty years after the iconic bombshell, Calista's life is a dĂ©jĂ vu of Hollywood tragedy. And with the anniversary of Marilyn's death looming, Calista fears she's next in line for a tragic finale.
As Liz investigates, suspicious characters swarm around Calista like mosquitoes on a sultry Lowcountry evening: her certifiable mother, a fake aunt, her manipulative psychoanalyst, her peculiar housekeeper, and an obsessed ex-husband. Liz digs in to find a motive for murder, but sheâs besieged with distractions. Her ex has marriage and babies on his mind and her all-too-sexy partner engages in a campaign of repeat seduction. With the heat index approaching triple digits, Liz races to uncover a diabolical murder plot in time to save not only Calistaâs life, but also her own.
