But she's already having a bad week when she discovers the murdered body of her neighbor, a fellow collector and the wife of a man Jane kissed at a recent party. And just when she thinks things can't get any worse, Jane stumbles upon a second corpse and suddenly finds herself the prime suspect.Luckily, homicide detective Bruce Oh has an open mind and lets Jane put her talent for sleuthing to work.
