By all appearances her death is a suicide, but Scott McGrath believes otherwise. As McGrath pieces together the mystery of Ashley's death, he is drawn deeper and deeper into the dark underbelly of New York City and the dark twisted world of Stanislas Cordova, Ashley's famous father, a world renowned director and recluse.
