The investigation is stuck in neutral when Emilia’s worst enemy gets into her taxi. She has no choice but to stick to her cover story and pretend she doesn’t recognize him. It’s easy, because her nemesis clearly doesn’t recognize her.
Soon she’s earned both his trust and an invitation to act as an understudy in a movie he’s producing.
Can Emilia act her way out of murder?
Could you?
