And the further the girls dig, the more they begin to suspect that Margot's death may not have been an accident—and that Lily may be next.
When the Jester starts threatening to expose their own secrets, this unlikely trio must team up to uncover the monsters behind the Mardi Gras masks—before they’re left with another dead debutante.
