Thats when beautiful, rich, cruel Eve Hollander goes off her penthouse roof . . . and lands in the lap, as it were, of her next-door neighbor, Dr. Lou Baltimore. The quirky college professor with a knack for detection might let it go at thatexcept that five of Eves circle want to pin her death on him. Did Eve fall? Or was she pushed? And by whom? And why?

Lou wants to find out. Teaming up with smart, beautiful Indianapolis Police Department Lt. Kelley Cooper, Lou romances the leggy cop while also investigating Eves death.
