Ex Library copy. In good condition A Jacqueline Kirby Mystery Jacqueline Kirby has had two bestseller novels published - it has given her a taste of being a national celebrity (so exhausting) as well as a passion for trinkets from Tiffany's and lunch at Tavern on the Green. It has also given her a healthy disrespect for an industry that believes that heaving bosoms and bird witted heroines make for good reading. But lunch with her agent distracts her from dwelling on the state of publishing when the man dangles before her the literary plum of the decade. It looks like Jacqueline may get a crack at writing the sequel to the greatest blockbuster of all time. Naked In The Ice. A sort of cross between The Clan of the Cave Bear and Gone With The Wind, this phenomenon sold over 4 million copies in hardcover alone, and skyrocketed its author Kathleen Darcy to instant fame. Unfortunately for Kathleen, she didn't stick around long enough to reap the royalties or write the sequel. She simply drove her car into a shadowed clearing and disappeared - an apparent suicide. Now 7 years later, Darcy has been declared legally dead and many writers are vying for the spoils. Determined to write the sequel if anyone does, Jacqueline has already appropriated Kathleen's agent, the infamous Booton Stokes, to act for her, and soon she's heading down to Pine Grove to work her wiles on the missing woman's heirs. Jacqueline works her way through family, rapid reporters, managers of all sorts - and slowly her curiosity gets to her. Why would and attractive, healthy brilliant young woman take her own life? And if she didn't what happened in those Appalachian woods 7 years ago. Its beginning to look like writing ha become a deadly profession. Jacqueline falls prey to similar accidents that Kathleen did before she disappeared so what is going on.
