A mind-bending code spawned from the mind of a maybe just a jealous ex. A desperate race through the cathedrals and hotels of New York a teeny bit of time for shopping, it`s true. An astonishing truth concealed for years, unveiled at more than a little help from a supercute new guy. As if a recent breakup, scrounging for rent money, and lusting after designer shoes weren`t enough, Melanie Prescott starts receiving obscure codes and clues from a menacing stranger. She attempts to solve the mysteries - enlisting the help of a tall, dark, and handsome new friend - with high hopes for the multimillion-dollar reward guaranteed at the end (handbags, sunglasses, and shoes, oh my!). That is, if she can survive the deadly game.
