Having your name in lights can be murder...
Stewart 'Hoagy' Hoag hasn't written any fiction since writer's block struck him after his hit debut novel. He's been reduced to ghostwriting celebrity memoirs, but his latest project has him diving back into the literary world in a way he never imagined.
Nikki Dymtryk is Hollywood's hottest reality TV star, known for her wild lifestyle and celebrity boyfriends. But when the ratings for her show Being Nikki begin to drop, the Dymtryk family hatch a new plan to keep Nikki in the limelight: reinventing her as a best-selling author. And who better than Hoagy to ghostwrite a steamy Hollywood romance?
Reluctantly, Hoagy flies out to L.A., trusty basset hound Lulu in tow. He is surprised to find that Nikki is nothing like her public 'airhead' image. This project may just get Hoagy's creative juices flowing again, and give him a chance at getting back together with his actress ex-wife, Merilee.
But Nikki's life isn't all parties and paparazzi. As Hoagy gets closer to the young woman, he begins to uncover the Dymtryk family's dark secrets. Secrets that are worth killing for...
Perfect for fans of Only Murders in the Building.
'One of my all-time favourite series!' Harlan Coben
