As the gatekeeper of the Malibu social scene, Alana Fox is used to helping her clients with finding a bridge group, or even a new man.
When Hollywood widow Francis Ferguson contacts Alana, however, she’s in search of something a bit more complicated–something that will throw Alana in the middle of some decades-old family secrets that continue to cause damage after all these years.
With Alana’s help, Francis hopes to reconnect with some old girlfriends—really old girlfriends, dating back to glamorous 1940s Hollywood, where she worked as a seamstress before marrying studio tycoon Milton Ferguson. The girls had bonded while stitching hems and taking in waistbands for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars but lost contact as they each married and moved on with their lives.

From scandalous affairs to forged documents, Alana digs deeper and deeper in this novel to put the pieces together and close the book on this captivating mystery for good. The rare mystery novel written for women over 50, ‘The Third Side’ is one book you won’t be able to put down.
