Books can be a dangerous business . . .
When Blue Moon Books, the Bay Area bookstore where Angel Robinson has
worked since college, is squeezed out of business, Angel is forced to
find a new job. She lucks into a position as the assistant to the
world-renowned literary agent Lucy Fiamma.
Angel soon learns that working for Lucy is no picnic. The agent has a
blockbuster ego to match her blockbuster success and Angel must juggle
both her boss's prima donna demands and the strange quirks of her
authors. But Angel soon becomes indispensible to the agency and develops
a keen understanding of big projects and the writers who create them.
What she doesn't realize is just how far one of them will go to get
published.
One day, a chapter from a mysterious manuscript by an anonymous author
arrives at the office. Set in a New York literary agency, the novel,
titled Blind Submission, centers on the ambitious assistant to a
successful literary agent. Angel is pulled in by the plot--but her
initial curiosity soon turns to panic. As the story unfolds--with
chapters e-mailed in one by one--it becomes clear that the mystery
author is writing the story of Angel's own life, including secrets she
thought were deeply hidden. Someone is watching her, even plotting
against her. Could it be her backstabbing coworker, her jealous
boyfriend, or her seductive new client?
When the novel's plot turns to murder, Angel knows that if she doesn't
discover the author's identity before the final chapter is written, more
than just her career will be cut short.
