Killer Hair
Ellen Byerrum

Home of the helmet hairdo and congressional comb-over, Washington, D.C. is a hotbed of fashion faux pas. If anyone should know, it’s “Crimes of Fashion” columnist Lacey Smithsonian. She dishes out advice to the scandal-scorched and clothing-clueless, doing her part to change this town— one fashion victim at a time…

Can a bad haircut kill you?
An up-and-coming stylist, Angie Woods had a reputation for rescuing down-and-out looks—and careers—all with a pair of scissors. But when Angie is found with a drastic haircut and a razor in her hand, the police assume she committed suicide over the shear disaster. Lacey knew the stylist and suspects something more sinister—that the story may lie with Angie’s star client, a White House staffer with a salacious Web site. Or with a recent string of thefts at the salon. With the help of a hunky ex-cop, Lacey must root out the truth—before she becomes the next subject of a hostile makeover…

Lacey’s Fashion Tip of the Day:
Never wear pink to testify. (Lacey has complicated feelings about pink.)
