Description

Fem-igarch is a mystery novel that exposes the primal urges transforming LA's elite from human to beast as the price for a decadent lifestyle. From the luxurious heights of Wilshire Boulevard penthouses to macabre trapeze events and celebrity galas set along the Pacific Ocean, a Beasti-Jewel Killer is terrorizing the city's wealthy and notorious. A metaphor for life and death, the tumultuous trapeze is the thread weaving a web of deceit, ensnaring the illustrious citizens with fear.

As stunning, wealthy Russian diva Natalya Principova blackmails her influential neighbors at The Rembrandt, a posh Los Angeles Wilshire condo icon, to promote her nouveau imperial jewelry line and reality show, visions of stardom and opulence fill her mind. Yet she is unaware of the evil schemes lurking to silence her forever to prevent scandalous secrets from scorching the tabloids.

While the FBI and LAPD scramble to solve the international puzzle and halt the escalating jewel thefts and murders, amateur sleuth Camille Truesdale, a resident of The Rembrandt, uses her intuitive HR skills to assist and annoy the professionals at her peril. From psychics to entertainment psychos, the suspect pool includes Russians, Arabs, Mexicans, Turks, and Koreans, all hiding shocking secrets they would kill to protect.
