A glittering event full of A-listers hosted by Eliza Lane and Brant Fitzhugh a celebrity couple who’d conquered both Hollywood and Broadway. And now Eve Dallas has made her entrance - but not as a guest. After raising a toast Brant falls to the floor and dies with physical symptoms pointing to cyanide and the police have crashed the party. Brant wasn't the kind of star who made enemies. Everyone loved him even his ex-wife. And since the champagne cocktail that killed him was originally intended for Eliza it's possible she was the real target - with a recently fired assistant a bitter rival and an obsessed fan in the picture. As one who's not fond of the spotlight herself Eve dreads the media circus surrounding a case like this. All she wants is to figure out who's truly innocent - and who's only acting that way . . .
