Ryan, Hank Phillippi. Charlotte McNally mystery.

Originally published by MIRA Books in 2009

"Star television reporter Charlotte McNally is stunned when, while struggling to recover her lost luggage at the airport, she discovers high-flying fraud in the glamorous world of high fashion. As she peels back the dark layers of the big-money scheme, Charlotte decides the bad guys aren't the only ones who can pull off an undercover identity. Wired with hidden cameras and dressed to deceive, Charlie infiltrates the top secret ateliers of haute couture, then cons her way behind closed doors into the suburban hot spots funneling millions to unscrupulous conspirators. With her news director pressuring her for the story--and her handsome new boyfriend pressuring her for attention--Charlotte is hot on the trail of deception, forgery, and murder. Someone Charlie loves and trusts may be hiding a secret past. As the danger intensifies, Charlie must decide what is real and what is counterfeit: her very life depends on it."--Inside dust jacket
