Stuart, Florida—A priceless coral and gold artifact intended for a queen disappears from a locked hotel room. The item was on loan as part of a charity event—and Cara Mia Delgatto was one of the first people who entered the empty ballroom. Who else could have stolen it but her? The philanthropic community of South Florida is blaming Cara for the loss—and the charity event is promptly canceled.

If that wasn't enough, Cara's new beau has disappeared—vanished!—and she's forced to wonder how her taste in men could possibly be so bad?

Maybe it was simply a random act of violence. But Cara's curiosity, and her innate sense of humanity, drive her to keep asking questions. Who killed the girl with the purple hair? And why?
