Until she is found dead in her Manhattan penthouse.Her brother Max, a hard-edged photojournalist who covers the brutal world of war, has always avoided her glitzy, superficial life, but is reluctantly sucked into the epicenter of the magazine business when Saskia leaves him StreetSmart in her will.A host of unscrupulous rivals are seemingly out to take over StreetSmart: from Freddie Saidi, the Lebanese arms dealer, to Etienne Bercuse, the megalomaniac luxury goods tycoon; from Carol Fargo, Saskias envious rival, to Bob Troup, her odious deputy who would kill for the editorship. Max soon learns that surviving in the media world may be tougher than reporting on wars.Can Max hang on to StreetSmart as the business begins to collapse around him Can he discover in time exactly who is trying to sabotage the magazine And does the paternity of Saskias six-year-old son, Cody, hold the answer
