When a glamorous literary agent falls prey to a violent stalker, she 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.
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 novelist (and notorious playboy) Hugo Donovan, the owner
of one of the best literary agencies in town, and is one of the most
sought-after agents in the business.
But all this is about to
fall apart, as a would-be client turns stalker, a hack shops around a
proposal for an unauthorized tell-all biography of Hugo, and a handsome
old flame shows up without warning.
Both a seasoned author and a
former literary agent herself, Barbara Rogan knows the publishing world
from all angles. Fans of Lisa Lutz and Jaqueline Winspear will adore Jo
Donovan and Rogan’s wickedly sharp tale that skewers the dangerous
fictions we read—and the dangerous fictions we tell ourselves.
