Giving Lou's knowledge of the fashion world and Annie's nose for trouble, it's only a matter of time before they begin chasing down what really happened to Scarlett. It's a dangerous hunt. One that forces Lou to face up to her past, and takes Annie from London to New York and Tokyo.In the hard-nosed world of modelling, sometimes the best look is the one that lets you come out of it alive...
