  Cool, savvy and sharp Sam Jones lives in a disused warehouse in Holloway where she sculpts large silvery mobiles and entertains the reluctantly adulterous Detective Sergeant Hawkins. When Sam's sculpture Thing II - renamed by her agent 'Undiscovered Planet' - has it's unveiling in the vast atrium of a City bank, our rubber clad heroine little suspects that she will soon be having a hot affair with a BMW-driving, Kingston dwelling stockbroker, calling in favours from hackers and defending herself against a drug-crazed, anorexic Sloane in order to solve a blackmail mystery and a murder in which Thing II is falsely being accused of being the murder weapon.

  Wickedly funny . . . -- New York Times Book Review

  Sexy, savvy sculptor-turned-sleuth Sam Jones attracts trouble like she does men. When her sculpture Thing III is unveiled at a swank reception in the atrium of a London bank, a dead body crashes the party. From there, events take a distinctly dangerous turn. Our rubber-clad heroine hardly suspects that in a few days she'll be embroiled in a hot affair with a BMW-driving, Kensington-dwelling stockbroker--the shame of it!
  Forced to hang out with a pair of spoiled, anorexic rich girls and their unsavory entourage of friends as she unravels the facts behind the murder, Sam finds herself unwillingly pulled into a twisted world of drugs, blackmail, and trust funds--one that seems to spell disaster for high society's darlings. By the end of the week even the usually tough-as-nails Sam is running scared. She needs to get to the bottom of it all--before she turns up dead herself.
