Then comes an invitation one summer weekend to the home of the Kennedys. Stella quickly becomes part of the inner Kennedy circle as they party through the hot summer nights. Both brothers, JFK and Bobby, make their moves on her but she firmly, charmingly, rejects them.

Further south, in the Florida Keys, a killer is on the loose. The case, unsolved, begins to rock America, and with her keen knowledge of psychopaths, Stella is intrigued by the police investigation and prepares to fly south...
