Seventh Avenue Murder — Liza Bennett

DESIGNS TO DIE FOR .

When the head of a leading women's clothing manufacturer hangs herself with material from the new hosiery line, people will talk. Especially advertising people. Especially when the dead woman was about to cancel a huge deal from which many of them would profit.

As creative director for Merriweather Sportswear's new campaign, I'd known Berry Merriweather three months. I liked her. And I was certain of one thing. She did not commit suicide. She was murdered.

Between Berry's tall supermodel brother, my romance with a New York detective and now a second body, murder is this season's runway hit.
