Claire Wright is a British actress in New York, struggling to pay her law school bills. She earns money as a decoy for a private investigator who catches cheating husbands, and she is asked to help the police with a murder case when a woman has been killed after meeting a man at a bar. Claire must pretend to be a bait for the suspect, a lure and an actress, while she keeps secrets of her own. The novel blurs her role-play and the truth.
