Summary
  • "In the next novel in David Handler's Edgar award-winning series, Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag and his beloved basset hound, Lulu, investigate a murder in a fabled Connecticut summer playhouse. Hollywood ghostwriter Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag has chronicled the rise, fall, and triumphant return of many a celebrity. At last he's enjoying his own, very welcome second act. After hitting a creative slump following the success of his debut novel, Hoagy has found inspiration again. Ensconced with his faithful but cowardly basset hound, Lulu, on a Connecticut farm belonging to his ex-wife, Oscar-winning actress Merilee Nash, he's busy working on a new novel. He's even holding out hope that he and Merilee might get together again. Life is simple and fulfilling--which of course means it's time for complications to set in"--
  • Hollywood ghostwriter Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag hit a creative slump following the success of his debut novel, but finds inspiration again on a Connecticut farm belonging to his ex-wife, actress Merilee Nash. When the police call to ask if he knows the whereabouts of a man named R.J. Romero, Hoagy learns of a dark secret from his ex-wife's past. Merilee is directing a gala benefit production of Private Lives to rescue the famed but dilapidated Sherbourne Playhouse, and now her reputation, as well as the playhouse's future, is at stake. When one of the cast is found murdered, it will take Hoagy's sleuthing skills to solve the case before someone else faces the final curtain call. -- adapted from jacket
