Another great book by Jayne Ann Krentz!

From the cover:

Leo, If you're reading this, I'm dead.

A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast and died young. Now it appears that Meredith's last scam is coming back to haunt her friend Leonora Hutton. An email has just arrived in which Meredith-in fear for her life, but as feisty as ever-explains that well over a million dollars in embezzled funds is waiting for Leonora in an offshore account.....and a safe-deposit key is on the way.
Leonora wants nothing to do with the tainted money, taken from an endowment fund at a small college. She's already been accused of being in on the theft by Thomas Walker-who,apparently was a victim of Meredith's knack for both scams and seductions. Eager to prove him wrong and escape this mess, Leonora sets out to collect the cash and hand it over.
But there are two other items in the safe deposit box. One is a book about Mirror House,where Meredith engineered her final deception-a mansion filled with antique looking-glasses that produce a dizzying infinity of reflections. The other is a set of newspaper stories about a thiry-year old murder that occured there, a murder unsolved to this day.
Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker.
She'll hand over the money if he helps her figure out whats happening. In her email, Meredith described Walker as "a man you can trust." But in a funhouse-mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league....
