About this Item

Edgar award-winning critic Breen's second novel is a bibliomystery featuring an old Los Angeles bookstore catering to some of Hollywood's most famous writers. Rachel Hennings, who inherits the store from her uncle and decides to keep it open rather than sell, has to deal with a burglary on her first day that ignores the shop's valuable first editions. Next, she finds evidence that an early novel by a well-known Hollywood author may have been ghostwritten and learns the ghostwriter was murdered just a few days after her uncle died. Then, when murder happens on her doorstep, the new proprietor is forced to investigate a strange literary underworld peopled with a strange collection of agents, book columnists, assorted book groupies and even an aging tennis star; boards and text are clean, tight, square, slightly age-tanned; dustjacket shows just a trace of edgewear and wear at corners. A very collectable copy.
