(at yet another failed attempt at making Crème Brulee) to beg for help.\u003c\/b\u003e This time she needs a hand tidying up her Flushing apartment-which was once likened to Times Square just moments after midnight on New Year's Eve-in anticipation of a male visitor. What is surprising is the fact that T.S. has never heard of the guy-a man named Max Rosenbloom, fabled multimillionaire owner of Max Rose Fashions. And \u003cb\u003eit's a downright shock that Max and Lil been secretly seeing each other-for over twenty years.\u003c\/b\u003e But when Max is an hour late, Aunt Lil falls into an uncharacteristic daze. And after she asks T.S. to \"leave her alone\"-a phrase thus far absent from her vocabulary, \u003cb\u003ea radio bulletin breaks the news of the quarter-century: Max has been killed in a car bomb explosion in Manhattan.\u003c\/b\u003e Lil is overtaken with a private grief-which worries T.S., because, quite frankly, she's never been private about much of anything-until \u003cb\u003eshe snaps out of it with the realization that her planned meeting with Max and his untimely death must be connected.\u003c\/b\u003eConvinced the love of her life has been murdered in cold blood, she resolves to solve the puzzling crime-with trusty T.S. by her side. Together, Aunt Lil and T.S. investigate the sophisticated trappings of the world of Manhattan fashion-including \u003cb\u003ethe lethal underbelly of the mob-controlled rag trade, white collar corporate embezzlement, and family secrets so chilling they leave even Aunt Lil speechless.\u003c\/b\u003e Because Max was filthy rich and in proverbial bed with the mob, there's no end to the list of suspects. But \u003cb\u003ethe list becomes one less when Max's own favorite nephew turns up dead.\u003c\/b\u003e Could it be murder has become fashionable in the garment district? \u003cb\u003eA delectable treat for cozy fans, especially if you love Miss Marple, Miss Silver, Miss Seeton, Mrs. Pollifax, Jessica Fletcher, Agatha Raisin, Henrie O, and Hercule Poirot.
