Libby can’t believe her luck when she lands the job in the fashion section of ‘Woman Matters’ the Chronicle’s female supplement. She also can’t believe how horrid her new boss, Valerie Fulton-Coombes is.

She’s thrilled to be set to work on a new personalised clothing collection until she realises its poor quality - which would have been apparent even if she hadn’t accidentally torn one of the tops. Valerie, however, seems besotted by the clothes, and even more besotted by the designer, George Clooney look-alike, Quinton Bellis.

Libby digs out some information about Bellis and his company which Valerie would rather not hear. When a similar hoodie to that in the collection is significant in an attempted kidnap, Valerie is devastated - especially as she’d misunderstood the reason for the police’s visit and blurted out a lot of personal incriminating information they didn’t need to hear and she certainly didn’t need to confess.

Things go from bad to worse when Valerie and Libby realise someone wants them dead. Can James help this time? Can anyone save them? And is it wise to put all your faith in a shoe when lives are at stake - even if it is a Louboutin?
