Synopsis
A glamorous literary agent with a violent stalker discovers that the publishing biz can really be murder Jo Donovan always manages to come out on top. Originally from the backwoods of Appalachia, she forged a hard path to elegant lunches and parties among New York City’s literati. At thirty-five, she’s the widow of the renowned author (and notorious playboy) Hugo Donovan and the owner of one of the best literary agencies in town. But her life turns upside down when harassment from a would-be client escalates to murder, a hack shops around a proposal for an unauthorized tell-all biography of Hugo, and a handsome old flame shows up. Both a seasoned author and a former literary agent herself, Barbara Rogan knows the publishing world from all angles. Fans of The Spellman Files and Maisie Dobbs will adore Jo Donovan and Rogan’s wickedly sharp tale that skewers the dangerous fictions we readand the dangerous fictions we tell ourselves.
