Bee Beahorn had it all - a successful music career, fabulous friends, and a glamorous celebrity lifestyle.

At least, that's what her estranged sister, Ana, had always believed.

Their lives were worlds apart. Bea was beautiful, extravagant and full of life. Ana was awkward, shy, and destined to live in Bea's shadow.

But when Bea is found dead in her flat, Ana realises that everything she knew about her sister had been a lie.

Ana is determined to find out the truth about her sister - and she might just find herself along the way . . .
