As a child Joanne was friends with Sally Love and her parents, but the
friendship languished after Sally's father died and she moved away,
eventually becoming a very controversial artist. When the Mendel Gallery
opens an exhibition of Sally's work, Joanne is eager to attend and to
renew their friendship. But it's not so easy being Sally's friend
anymore, and soon Joanne finds herself ensnared in a web of intrigue and
violence. When the director of a local private gallery is brutally
murdered, Joanne finds that the past she and Sally share was far more
complicated, and far more sordid, than she had realized.
