Publisher's Summary:
When a young gymnast dies performing a world-famous stunt, Kiernan suspects foul play.
As a young girl in Baltimore, Kiernan OShaughnessy lived for gymnastics, where strict discipline and endless practice kept her centered even as her life fell apart. Her idol was stuntman Greg Gaige. Famous for pulling off the moves no one else could, and for scorning safety equipment, Gaige was the one man OShaughnessy truly admired.
Ten years after Gaiges tragic death, OShaughnessy is a private detective on the California coast, and a young female gymnast has come along to challenge Gaiges crown. OShaughnessy goes to watch the girl attempt the death-defying Gaige Move, without a harness, on the edge of a seaside cliff. After a perfect landing, the ground gives way and the gymnast falls to her death. The police call it an accident, but OShaughnessy is determined to get the truthin honor of her old hero, and for the young woman who looked up to him the way she did.

Movie stunts and murder
Dunlap's forensic pathologist-turned private eye, Kiernan O'Shaughnessy, is a fiesty loner with a tender streak.
In this second appearance her nostalgic trip to the San Diego bluffs to watch a young woman perform a movie stunt "gag" made famous by Kiernan's childhood idol, gymnast Greg Gaige, ends in disaster - the ambitious stunt woman's death.
Kiernan, puzzled by a few details, refuses to believe it's an accident. Her investigation takes her into the ruthless and precarious business of movie-making and the peculiar world of stunt people. As she digs into the secrets of a has-been director dogged by "bad luck" which all began with Gaige's grisly death by fire on the set, Kiernan finds herself confronting the demons of her own past as well.
A well-written page turner with snappy dialogue and an appealing heroine.
