This is an advance publicity copy of the first novel in the Lucy Freers mystery series and Maracotta's first novel in ten years. A descriptive blurb on the back cover says, "Family values in Hollywood -- it's enough to give Newt Gingrich a stroke." Modest cover corner wear and light cover smudging. A true first, as uncorrected bound galleys are the earliest form of a book to be sent out by the publisher.
