novel
Check out the lineup of women in this
opening scene. It looks like a 1950s Hollywood casting
call. Eva Martell gets a part, not on stage but
impersonating Helen Reynolds, a woman she has never met.
She is paid extremely well and given a beautiful
apartment to live in with her Aunt Agnes as long as she
continues the charade. Still, Eva suspects foul play in
paradise, and seeks the advice of a good lawyer.
Perry steps in and meets with the real
Helen Reynolds, who swears she is not doing anything
illegal, but cannot reveal her motives. That's fine until
they find that dead body in her apartment...
