Never Flirt With a Femme Fatale

Midsummer. Manhattan. The Upper East Side is the setting but the cases attracted international attention. The women live in penthouses, multi-million dollar mansions. Or they want to. Sante Kimes is ruthless, driven by greed and an unquenchable thirst for excitement. During two murder trials, her private detective comes to know her as well as anyone ever will. Vogue cover girl Melanie Cain unwittingly becomes a dark force when she leaves her wealthy playboy lover. Both women tell their stories for the first time to someone they trust: Cici McNair. All three women talk about seduction, manipulation, betrayal, and murder.
