Claudia Rose is trying to cope with living with a teenager. Annabelle Giordano had been allowed to live with Claudia since the death of her father. Police detective Joel Jovanic is spending most of his free time at Claudia's home. He wants commitment and Claudia is feeling an urge to flee. So, when she's offered a chance to go to New York to evaluate handwriting samples for Baroness Grusha Olinetsky, to help her pick clients for her dating service, Elite Introductions, she's cautious, but interested. But when she learns her nemesis Andrew Nicholson had just been fired for incompetence, Claudia agrees. Of course that was before she knew that several of Olinetsky's clients had died under suspicious circumstances.

From official release/information:

Drawn into the feckless lives of the rich and single, Claudia finds herself in a twisted world of love and lies fueled by desperation. But is one among them desperate enough to kill?

Claudia must find clues in the suspects handwriting before more victims are scribbled into the killer's black book...
