From Victorian and sensual to the Roaring 20s and beyond, Katy creates award winning pieces that have made her famous in the world of costume design as well as a variety of other arenas. She has never been more excited, that is, until a crazy woman rushes the stage and accuses Katy of stealing her designs and stealing her award. Katy is flabbergasted by the outburst and is stunned as the security guards drag the woman away. Katy chalks it up to some lunatic’s antics and tries not to let it spoil her evening. That is, until a few hours later when that same woman is found dead with one of Katie’s specially designed knitting needles found at the scene. Katie finds herself a suspect in a murder she did not commit. Can she discover the real killer before she is sent away for the crime? Or will this journey plunge her into a world of mystery and intrigue she has only ever read about?
