Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks
Date of publication: August 2017
HARLAN COBEN calls it “One of my all-time favorite
series! …David Handler is so good at writing one smart, funny
page-turner after another that he makes it look easy.”
Fans of JANET EVANOVICH and CARL HIAASEN, get
ready. If you haven’t yet discovered wisecracking sleuth Stewart
“Hoagy” Hoag and his faithful basset hound Lulu, you’re in for a
sharp, hilarious treat.
Once upon a time, Hoagy had it all: a hugely successful
debut novel, a gorgeous celebrity wife, the glamorous world of New York City at
his feet. These days, he scrapes by as a celebrity ghostwriter. A celebrity
ghostwriter who finds himself investigating murders more often than he’d like.
And once upon a time, Richard Aintree was the most
famous writer in America — high school students across the country read
his one and only novel, a modern classic on par with The Catcher in
the Rye. But after his wife’s death, Richard went into mourning… and
then into hiding. No one has heard from him in twenty years.
Until now. Richard Aintree — or someone pretending to
be Richard Aintree — has at last reached out to his two estranged daughters. Monette
is a lifestyle queen à la Martha Stewart whose empire is crumbling; and
once upon a time, Reggie was the love of Hoagy’s life. Both sisters have
received mysterious typewritten letters from their father.
Hoagy is already on the case, having been hired to
ghostwrite a tell-all book about the troubled Aintree family. But no
sooner does he set up shop in the pool house of Monette’s Los Angeles
mansion than murder strikes. With Lulu at his side — or more often
cowering in his shadow — it’s up to Hoagy to unravel the mystery, catch
the killer, and pour himself that perfect single-malt Scotch… before it’s too
late.
