Description
"Why would anyone want to kill bestselling author Penny Varnavides? Her demise can't be the freak accident it first appeared to be: it is an exact replica of the unique murder method employed in her forthcoming novel. Only three people seemed to know the details of this unpublished book - her literary agent, her editor, and her ex-girlfriend, Meredith. Who stood to gain the most from Penny's death? Did anyone else know about this unusual plot device?". "In an effort to clear her friend Meredith's name, Lindsay Gordon delves beneath the glittering facade of the high-powered, seemingly glamorous world of London publishing in search of a murderer. While hobnobbing with industry notables, Lindsay encounters an unsavory mix of soured relationships, desperate power plays, underhanded fraud, and seething rivalries. Who, amongst this sordid group, wanted Penny Varnavides dead? And will she or he strike again if Lindsay ventures too close?"--BOOK JACKET.
