It doesn't look like it's going to happen when the mayor hands him a twisty missing person's case. A Saudi Princess has vanished. Because of royal protocols, Athen must conduct his investigation under the wire. He doesn't mind doing that, but it soon becomes apparent that the princess, who's also a wannabe actress, might have been murdered. Her apartment appears to be one big giant crime scene.But just who is Natasha Al-Khan, AKA Natasha King, and who wants her dead? Though Beverly Hills has the reputation of being crime-free, this is the second murder case he's tackled in the short time Athen's been with the department. Not only does he have to solve this one fast, but he and his lover, Grady, are dealing with Athen's delinquent niece who's just come out to them. Oh, and somebody very near and dear to them may turn out to be a deranged psychopath...
