DEATH IN SILK
A Clara Holt Mystery
Vivienne Fox was elegance incarnate—an actress draped in silk, adored by the city, and always in control. Until the night she was found dead in her apartment, strangled by her signature silk scarf. The police called it suicide. Clara Holt called it a lie.
As a sharp, relentless journalist with a reputation for digging too deep, Clara can't ignore the feeling that something about Vivienne’s death is staged. The deeper she investigates, the darker the truth becomes: a hidden world of powerful men, secret societies, and a theatre of wealth where everyone plays a part—and no one is safe when the curtain falls.
As Clara pulls on the threads of silk, she steps into a tangled web of elite theatre circles, backroom political deals, coded identities, and a powerful man who will do anything to silence the truth. Haunted by her past and armed only with instinct, Clara must decide how far she’ll go to reveal what others would kill to keep hidden.
With the help of a loyal few—her firecracker friend Amy, a haunted detective, and a man from her past—Clara must confront the lies that cost Vivienne her life. Because when justice is dressed in glamour, only a woman unafraid to break the rules can undress the truth.
Death in Silk is a gripping noir mystery about memory, power, and the dangerous cost of uncovering what others worked so hard to forget. Stylish, suspenseful, and deeply atmospheric gripping thriller about truth, justice, and the lies we tell to survive.
