The new Stewart Hoag mystery by Edgar Award-winning author David Handler. Hoag visits LA to ghostwrite a reality TV star's book and gets embroiled in a murderous plot.
PRAISE FOR DAVID HANDLER: 'One of my all-time favorite series!' Harlan Coben'David Handler is the master of the sly, comedic mystery' Adriana Trigiani. 'Full of dark secrets and potential suspects, so many of each that they threaten to overwhelm Hoagy, although it should be noted that they never overwhelm author Handler, who keeps a sure hand on the steering wheel' Booklist. 'Handler's breezy, unpretentious and warm-hearted hero provides a breath of fresh air in a world of investigative angst' Publishers Weekly. 'Adultery, blackmail, trick-or-treaters, unseemly ties to organized crime, and New York in the 1990s. What's not to like?' Kirkus. 'David Handler is a hoot, and his books are just the thing for what ails you. I find it hard to begrudge him his Edgar!' -- Parnell Hall, author of You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled
