McKenna knew the score when she went to work for Writing magazine. There would always be people who couldn't write but wanted to be writers. There would always be people with get-rich-quick fantasies looking to produce the next sex-and-sin bestseller. She fully expected to uncover skeletons in closets. Instead, on her very first day, she found an entire body. Join McKenna, former romance novelist turned true-crime writer, as she once again turns reluctant sleuth in this mystery that presents a picture of one corner of the publishing world.
