Publisher's Synopsis
Delve into the dark secrets of a small New Zealand town . . .
By night Ruby Palmer performs on the stage. By day she is on the hunt for a killer.
Ruby's childhood friend Betty was murdered thirty years ago. Betty was the only person who ever stuck up for Ruby in the local children's home where they met.
The death of Ruby's adopted mother triggers buried memories that she'd rather have forgotten. Now it's time to find out what happened to her friend.
But thirty years is a long time. And her only lead is an old notebook, filled with the symbols from a deck of cards: the diamond, spade, heart and clubs. What do they mean?
The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. Ruby must unmask the killer before she pays the ultimate price . . .
