Nancy Star brings her inside knowledge of the entertainment world -- all of the behind-the-scenes buzz -- to this debut novel featuring a delightful new heroine, single mom and savvy TV talk-show producer May Morrison.

The new senior producer of the celebrated daytime gabfest Paula Live, May Morrison can barely juggle her job, two precocious daughters, and a repair-prone post-Victorian dream house. Her killer schedule leaves little room for sanity, much less homicide. But after rival talk-show executives start dropping faster than Nielsen ratings after sweeps week, the NYPD believes May is behind their permanent cancellations.

Every piece of evidence that criminally handsome Detective Paul O'Donnell collects points to May. And he knows she wasn't a fan of the high-powered producer of Simon Says, who took a thirty-nine-story dive from his apartment balcony -- or of the ruthless creator of TV's hottest new talkarama, Tell Tonya, who turned up strangled in her own bedroom. Now even if May can resist the arresting charms of one cop who wants her in prison, and another who simply wants her, she must still outwit a homicidal maniac bent on producing her murder.
