Torah is a bright and bubbly seventeen-year-old with a twinkle in her eye and a strong sense of adventure. Pair that with her dream job and you'd expect everything to go swimmingly, right? Wrong.
Torah is doing work experience with Antonio, the head of 'Majestique Designs', a global fashion company, and when they are to be appearing at the Paris Fashion Week, Torah is invited as one of the junior designers.
But what happens when the lead model is killed right before the show starts? Will Torah's longing for adventure fail to resist the temptation and attempt to find the killer? Or will she do as the authorities say and 'stay out of it like a good little girl'?
I think we all know the answer to that, so join Torah in her game of humour, suspicion, wits, mystery, suspense and above all, adventure.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
