After years working undercover befriending prostitutes and drug addicts, the strain is beginning to tell.

Fashion, that's where. Annie takes a job on the new flagship magazine Handbag, and prepares herself to be whisked into a world of glamour, beauty and power. But she has a sixth sense for trouble - and it doesn't take her long to find it. When New York's hottest young designer, is gunned down in what appears to be a random killing, Annie decides to do a little digging.
