Cross Your Heart And Hope To Die
Nancy Martin
First Time in Paperback
Combine “great clothes, great mystery, [and] great fun”
(Jennifer Crusie) and you get this “smart and
sophisticated
series” (Jane Heller) featuring a trio of
hot-blooded bluebloods with a manor-born flair for fashion…
and for solving crimes.
It’s a Tempest in a C-Cup!
Because murder is busting out all over...
Things are going great for the Blackbirds. Columnist Nora is
still dating mobster’s son Michael Abruzzo, Emma’s
recovering nicely in a clinic for the rich and infamous, and
Libby’s pleased about her new career with Potions and
Passions, a company that keeps its customers very satisfied.
Best of all, nobody in Nora’s vicinity has been knocked off
lately.
Nora’s next journalistic assignment: cover the unveiling of
the most miraculous bra in fashion history. But before Nora
can hand in her uplifting story, her boss is discovered shot
execution-style and trussed up in expensive panty
hosean Abruzzo family trademark.
Now it’s up to Nora to find the killer before her innocent
lover takes the rap. That means shadowing the most glamorous
suspects in Philadelphiaincluding a bad-boy designer,
a former child star, a neurotic neat freak, a high-strung ad
exec, and a pair of luscious twin models on the rise. Though
Nora’s accustomed to "murder with style," cross your fingers
for the Blackbird sisters, because this
time, high society has never seemed so low-down dirty. *Pittsburgh Magazine "Nora Blackbird has humor, haute couture, and sexual
heat, and Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die has me
hooked on the Blackbird sisters."
