A phone call

Burdened with a devastating secret, the former mistress of an American president has chosen part-time reporter Reebie Mahoney as her confessor. There is only one condition: Reebie must meet her right away -- tonight.

A double life

Standing outside the woman's door, Reebie hears a scream of blinding terror followed by a gunshot. When the door is finally forced open, Reebie is horrified to realize that the woman lying dead on the floor is no stranger.

A double exposure

Within hours the building is swarming with San Francisco police and Reebie is their chief murder suspect. As she is dragged into a terrifying world where past and present collide, someone -- a mobster, a television star, maybe Reebie herself -- is going to die.
