With Bess and George at her side, Nancy's certain it will be an evening she'll never forget. n nThen just days before the party, a priceless sculpture is stolen Still, the Duchess vows the party will go on as planned--and Nancy is determined to use the opportunity to sniff out the thief. n nBut on the big night, as creatives, collectors, and connoisseurs--all with their own motives--converge, it quickly becomes clear that crime, like art, is all about the illusion, and a stolen statue may be the least of Nancy's troubles.n
