Murder a la Mode

The staff of Style magazine in London are in the feverishly exciting period just before the latest Paris fashion news is to break. They have debated late into the night about which photographs to feature, but only one of them knows that the stakes are so high that an employee will be dead by morning…

Inspector Henry Tibbett must act quickly to save the life of his niece, a beautiful Style model, who is in danger of becoming the next victim of a crime as ingenious as the creations of haute couture itself.
