The Many Lies of Veronica Hawkins (Hatchette, $32.99) by Kristina Perez sees Martina adrift in a foreign city, with no job and no friends.
But her luck changes when she meets Veronica Hawkins. Beautiful, sophisticated, and very, very rich, Veronica is the epitome of Old Hong Kong - the last surviving member of a British mercantile dynasty that built the city during its colonial heyday.
Martina can hardly believe her fortune when she's taken under Veronica's wing and into her confidence, with Veronica helping her to find a new apartment, a new career, and most importantly, a new self.
Veronica transforms Martina's life, and then, shockingly, she dies. She disappears over the side of a yacht during a party attended by Hong Kong's most influential people yet somehow there are no witnesses.
