Thats why she tried to convince Richard, her devoted husband and the father to their three children, not to join his old college friends on an expedition to the imposing peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Little did she know that the beautiful artist climbing alongside him might prove the far greater danger.Frankie Callahans dream of artistic success is within reach, with her career-making exhibition at a celebrated New York gallery only weeks away.

To mark this new beginning, she is going to climb Kilimanjaro. But when she learns shes the sole female accompanying a group of male friends, Frankie realizes that nothing about the trip will be as she expected.

By the time they descend-with one fewer in their group than when they began-they have lost more than they ever could have imagined.Now, less than two weeks after their return to New York, Frankies East Village loft is a blood-soaked crime scene, and Richard has been charged with her murder.
