Meg, a veteran con artist, comes back into town after ten years away and chooses her next target, but this time journalist Kat Roberts is waiting for her. Meg upended Kat's life a decade ago and now Kat is about to expose her and get justice for the past. However, as the two women get closer, Kat discovers that things aren't what they appear to be.

Four women--Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie--were recruited by an organization called the Museum during World War II to hunt down and assassinate Nazis. After the war, they moved on to other high-caliber criminals. Now they are in their sixties and enjoying a retirement cruise to the Caribbean when they are targeted by one of their own. The women must rely on their skills and each other to survive.

Friday is not running away. Yes, she did get on a train to Norway without telling anyone where she was going, but she had to help Binky. He may or may not have been attacked by a polar bear. Now he's facing court martial for dereliction of duty. Obviously, Friday had to drop everything and travel 3000 kilometres to solve the case. The fact that it's easier to handle her feelings for Ian Wainscott if there's a continent between them is just a coincidence. When Friday arrives in Oslo, there are so many mysteries to solve. Is someone trying to keep Binky and Princess Ingrid apart? How can a painting leave a museum when all the doors are sealed? And will Melanie persuade Friday to go to the royal ball without wearing a brown cardigan? If Friday survives her trip to the remote Global Seed Vault, we may find out.
