Camilla Lyman, a child of privilege, was raised at Ricefields, a 100-acre estate near Boston. Shunned by her patrician mother for being socially awkward, Camilla formed a deep bond with her loving father.
When he died, Camilla changed noticeably. First, she began wearing his jackets and ties. Then she shortened her frilly name to “Cam.” Finally, using steroids, she grew a moustache and dramatically changed her appearance. Outside, she was transformed. Inside, she was in a state of emotional chaos.
Wealthy and eccentric, Camilla gradually became immersed in the world of champion show dogs. Then one day she suddenly disappeared, along with a briefcase of $300,000 in cash and jewelry. Was she murdered or did she make one last attempt to escape?
