'Stone the crows—Aussie Kylie Kendall returns!

'Kylie’s relationship with paramour Ariana Creeling has reached a new level—until she disappears. There’s no sign of violence, no ransom demand—she simply vanishes. Kylie is distraught, not knowing whether she’s alive or dead. Convinced there’s a link to the prestigious Clarice Turner Evenstar Home, where aged show business stars fade not-so-gently away, Kylie disguises herself as a volunteer and finds herself on the trail of the culprit—but will she be too late to save the woman she loves?'
