Alors qu’elle prend un verre dans un bar, Eve Dallas assiste à la mort de Larinda Mars. Pour sûr, la célèbre journaliste people vient d’être assassinée! Afin d’élucider l’affaire, Eve se voit confier l’enquête. Son investigation la mène à découvrir les activités illicites de la défunte. Car cette dernière, monnayant des fortunes, faisait chanter vedettes et personnalités en les menaçant de révéler leurs plus sombres secrets. Mais le pire d’entre eux ne réside-t-il pas derrière l’identité même de cette odieuse femme?

The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it’s not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that’s exactly what happens one cold February evening.

The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described “social information reporter,” or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she’d find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone’s done the same to her, literally—with a knife to the brachial artery.

Eve didn’t like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she’ll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn’t want to know…
