From the New York Times bestselling author of The Birth of Venus comes the first novel in the gripping Hannah Wolfe mystery series.

Hannah Wolfe, a London based private eye, has worked jobs ranging from department store surveillance to babysitting billionaires. But every once in a while she gets a case thats worthy of the great detective novels she ruefully admires—and at first glance, the latest case doesnt fit that bill. Shes asked to find a missing ballet dancer, Carolyn Hamilton. Simple enough—Hannah figures the young dancer just doesnt want to be found. But she is found, and not by Hannah. Her body is fished out of the Thames by the police, stones in her pockets and an eight-month old fetus in her belly.

To the police its a no-brainer case—single pregnant woman cant face her impending responsibilities, writes a suicide note, and takes a leap off a bridge. But Hannah cant shake the suspicion that theres much more to this case than meets the eye. In fact, shes fairly certain that the suicide note the police found in Carolyns apartment wasnt there when she herself had gone snooping around just hours before the officially established time of death.

Hannahs determination to put together the pieces in the puzzle of Carolyns short life takes her from the dance world of London to the upper echelons of Parisian society in search of the father of Carolyns unborn child. When his explanation only raises more questions, Hannah finds the young dancers pregnancy becoming the focus of her suspicions and her own ambivalent feelings about relationships and motherhood.
