Monkey Me Monkey You

A compelling new novel set in the corridors of publishing power In the heart of New York's bustling literary scene, newcomer Nevada Leacock is more than an influential book editor; she's a guardian of stories. But her world is upended when a shooter's rampage at Fraser Greene Publishing shatters the sanctuary of the written word, thrusting her into a real-life mystery more complex than any plotline she's ever untangled. As the dust settles and the police take over, Nevada is blindsided by news that strikes close to home: Jasper Inniskillen, a literary titan with a backlist of bestsellers and a front yard full of adversaries, has been found dead. The timing-on the heels of the shooting-is suspicious, and Nevada's instincts and experience as a former journalist scream that there's a connection. Compelled to seek answers, Nevada's search for the truth pulls her into a maze of deceit that snakes from the underbelly of book fairs, where authors' dreams are auctioned off to the highest bidder, to the serene shores of Long Island, where the upper echelons hide their darkest secrets. She must dissect Jasper's fraught legacy, navigate a web of envious rivals, and uncover closely guarded lies. Monkey Me, Monkey You is a tale of ambition, secrecy, and the relentless pursuit of truth. It's a story that challenges Nevada to leverage her expertise, scrutinizing the fine print of reality to solve a puzzle where the stakes are life and death. With each suspect crossed off, the question remains: who would kill to write Jasper's final chapter? It is Book 5 of Gail Hulnick's Media Mysteries series.
