Book Description

Bantam, 1996. Mass Market Paperback. Good.


Book summary

With his movie star good looks, first-time bestselling novelist Cam Noyes quickly becomes the toast of the publishing world and a media darling. Now Cam is too busy running with the brat pack and posing for magazine covers to finish his long-overdue second book--an expose of the dirty business behind megabucks publishing deals. Ghostwriter Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag is hired to write Cam's book for him, but when corpses start piling up faster than manuscript pages, Hoagy must act fast while there are still walking publishers to tell the tale.

Media Reviews


"A gossipy tease of a book...Handler is a master at combining touching scenes with depictions of mayhem."

   -- Rave Reviews

"Handler pulls off a dandy mystery and even makes an asset of Lulu, Hoagy's mackerel-eating dog."

   -- Drood Review of Mystery

"Handler's characters come vividly to life, and his acerbic comments on the state of 'literary' publishing in New York make thoroughly entertaining reading."

   -- Mystery Readers Journal

Publisher Notes


Bestselling first-time novelist Cam Noyes writes with a lyric voice like F. This media darling's having a ball carousing, bed-hopping, and brawling--and can't find time to write his long-overdue second book. Enter Hoagy to write an expose of the dirty business behind megabuck book deals.
