Plot Summary of Caviar Dreams
"Lisa Watson is a struggling photographer who relies on her best friend Debbie for moral support and the occasional pizza. But when a handsome Derek falls in love with homely Debbie, Lisa is worried. And well she should be, because Prince Charming is actually a scam artist, preying on lonely women and blackmailing gay men. When Derek hooks up with corporate mogul Robert Helton, a man desperate to hide his double life, Derek believes he will be rich beyond his wildest dreams.

But it is not to be. Instead Debbie is found dead in the apartment she shared with Derek and Derek is nowhere to be found. Shaken by her friend's death, Lisa unwittingly becomes involved with her friend's true killer, not realizing the danger until it is nearly too late.
