Models

Kendall Dee disappears on her first day as a professional hairdresser at a New York Fashion Week runway show. When she turns up murdered, her friend Corry Lindstrom decides to find out what happened. Because Corry, a professional fashion photographer, got Kendall the job in the first place. A job that put Kendall in a kind of danger no one expected. Chosen by the readers of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as one of the top five stories of the year, “Models” takes place in a world not often seen by outsiders—a place where glamour gives way to sweat, and jealousy can lead to murder.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”
