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.
