The annual Historical Romance Writers of the World convention in New
York City is calling to Jacqueline Kirby, a Nebraska librarian who
desperately desires some excitement. But all is not love and kisses at
this august gathering of starry-eyed eccentrics and sentimental scribes.
As far as Jacqueline is concerned, the sudden "natural" death of a
gossip columnist seems anything but. And when she's approached by a
popular genre star who fears for her own life, the resourceful Ms. Kirby
quickly goes back to work . . . as a sleuth. Because there's a sinister
scenario being penned at this purple prose congregation. And when
jealousy and passion are given free rein beyond the boundaries of the
printed page, the result can be murder.
