The first Stewart Hoag mystery.
Begins the series of reissues of classic mysteries by Edgar and American Mystery Award-winning author David Handler.
Wildly bestselling first-time novelist Cam Noyes writes with a lyrical voice like F Scott Fitzgerald and looks like he leapt right out of a Ralph Lauren ad. The media's latest darling, he's having a ball running with the brat pack, posing for magazines, rolling in and out of beds, brawling in bars, swigging tequila, and snorting cocaine.
But with such a busy schedule, Cam simply can't find the time to write his long-overdue second book. Enter Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag - ghostwriter of celebrity memoirs and reluctant amateur detective - to tackle Cam's tell-all exposé of the dirty business behind megabuck book deals.
Unfortunately, "cutthroat" takes on a whole new meaning as the bodies start piling up faster than the pages of the manuscript. If Hoagy doesn't act fast, there'll be no one left in publishing to tell the tale.
