''A hugely entertaining character who is wry, gossipy and completely

compelling. Full of twists and turns worthy of a classic mystery novel''

ALEX MICHAELIDES, author of The Silent Patient

''Gripping . . . with a wonderful detective readers will be dying to meet again''

SOPHIE HANNAH

How to put a positive spin on a murder mystery...

Meet our narrator: witty, nosy, a professional weaver of lies - aka ghostwriter for the rich

and famous - and now, lander of The Dream Assignment (that is, a politician''s tell-all

memoir).

Enter Dorothy Gibson: recently toppled Presidential C andidate, aka that woman, the most

talked-about person in the country right now... for all the wrong reasons.

Add -- an invitation to the middle of nowhere, one well-heeled neighbour dying under

Suspicious C ircumstances, a secret investigation -- and an unreasonably beautiful man.

The result -- a story even our ghostwriter wasn''t expecting. And for once, it''s all hers...
