McBRIDE: IT’S MURDER, MADAM
There’s a price to be paid in a town where everyone’s for hire.
When an expert in the high cost of love crosses paths with a professional in the high price
of crime, it can only lead to murder.
Beverly Hills Madam Heather Bradley has given the straight and narrow a shot.
Unfortunately that road has only led to a stack of unpaid bills and a collection notice.
How lucky that Marilyn Foster, an aspiring—and penniless—actress from Omaha is in
need of Heather’s services. But when the strictly hands-off dateHeather arranges for
Marilyn with a respectable older gentleman gets out-of-hand, an enraged Marilyn storms
Heather’s home. What she finds is the enterprising Madam permanently out of
business—her skull bashed in with a fire poker. Rarely has a fresh-scrubbed innocent
looked so guilty.
Investigator McBride (Emmy winner John Larroquette, The John Larroquette Show) may
believe Marilyn’s account of the story—including her version of the attack in the client’s
penthouse—but it doesn’t bring him any closer to finding the killer. Then he stumbles
upon incriminating e-mails from Heather to three strangers with the provocative screen
names of Heartthrob, Nero, and Untouchable. It appears that each one of them is a victim
of Heather’s blackmail plot. A perfect motive and three perfect suspects. Simple? Not to
McBride. Because Heather’s dirty little secrets have claimed more victims than the
investigator counted on—and it’s going to take more than one murder to keep them from
getting spilled.
Join investigator McBride as he’s escorted into the mysteries of a woman’s little black
book—and proves his mettle once again in one of the most seductive cases of his career.
