Description

The latest mystery in the Edgar Award-winning series from David Handler.

Ghostwriting sleuth Stewart Hoag investigates a trail of murder amidst Hollywood's rich and famous. Stewart 'Hoagy' Hoag hasn't written any fiction since his debut novel rocked the literary world then left him with a paralyzing case of writer's block.

Since then, he's been reduced to ghostwriting celebrity memoirs.

But his newest project could have him diving back into the world of fiction in a way he never imagined. Nikki Dymtryk is Hollywood's hottest reality TV star, known for her wild party lifestyle and series of partners from the music, film, and sports industries.

But when the ratings for her show Being Nikki begin to drop, the Dymtryk family engineers a new plan to keep Nikki in the limelight: reinventing the young star as a best-selling author. Nikki's team hires Hoagy to ghostwrite a steamy romance novel set in the glamour of Hollywood.

Reluctantly, Hoagy flies out to L.A. with his trusty basset hound Lulu in tow to see what he's gotten himself into.

But when he finally meets the starlet, she's nothing like the 'airhead' image she presents to the media.

This project may just be the key to getting Hoagy's creative juices flowing again... and staying in L.A. might also give him a chance at getting back together with his actress ex-wife, Merilee. But spending time with Nikki isn't all parties and poolside lounging.

As Hoagy gets closer to the young woman, he begins to uncover the Dymtryk family's dark secrets.

Secrets that are worth killing for.
