Designed to Die - A Dallas O'Connor Mystery (Hardcover)

Welcome to stylist Dallas O'Connor's dizzying world: high-end apparel, high-paid models, high-strung photographers...and murder. Now, after her chilling brush with death in Going Out in Style, Dallas is back on location and tracking a killer who's turning a big-budget photo shoot from fashionable...to fatal.

A tall blonde Texan with an eye for quality and a taste for the offbeat, Dallas O'Connor has a sterling reputation in the fashion ad business. But lately, she's also earning a name as a savvy sleuth with an eye for solving the most baffling mysteries. Now, in the midst of a blast-furnace summer, a glamorous fashion shoot in deliciously cool Seattle sounds like heaven. The need for sky-diving experience seems a bit quirky. But Dallas is willing to overlook a few flapping red flags...until a top male model in a sabotaged Porsche plunges into the Pacific.

Soon, rumors are flying that the Mob is involved, and suspicions are developing faster than a Polaroid. With locations set on rooftops and another victim ripe to take a fall, Dallas is working overtime to find the villain among the hand-stitched wool suits -- before she ends up being fitted...for the last outfit she'll ever wear.
