Ivan retains Claudia to examine the purported suicide note found near Lindsey's body. Already well acquainted with Lindsey from their long-ago college days, Claudia has experienced her ruthless self-promotion first-hand. Still, she allows herself to be persuaded to get involved in the case, and as she delves into Lindsey's affairs, Claudia discovers that the publicist had been carrying on a lucrative secret side business--blackmail. Questions quickly begin to mount, with the spotlight shining on suspects that include a U.S. senator and a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon..
