A Dangerous Fiction by Barbara Rogan (July 2013)
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 620 Kb
Overview: When a glamorous literary agent falls prey to a violent stalker, she discovers that the publishing biz can really be murder.

Jo Donovan always manages to come out on top. Originally from the backwoods of Appalachia, she forged a hard path to elegant lunches and parties among New York City’s literati. At thirty-five, she’s the widow of the renowned novelist (and notorious playboy) Hugo Donovan, the owner of one of the best literary agencies in town, and is one of the most sought-after agents in the business.

But all this is about to fall apart, as a would-be client turns stalker, a hack shops around a proposal for an unauthorized tell-all biography of Hugo, and a handsome old flame shows up without warning.

Both a seasoned author and a former literary agent herself, Barbara Rogan knows the publishing world from all angles. Readers will adore Jo Donovan and Rogan’s wickedly sharp tale that skewers the dangerous fictions we read — and the dangerous fictions we tell ourselves.

"Rogan sets this thriller in the publishing world, a perfect showcase for sins that can boil over into murder, especially those of pride, envy, wrath, and greed. Just about every scene connected to this world — the slush-pile meeting in the literary agency, the launch party for a mega-successful writer, and the writers’ conference — is divided into winners, losers, and hangers-on. Rogan’s heroine, Jo Donovan, is a young widow who has inherited a literary agency from her husband. Donovan is under no illusion that talent brought her the fortune and agency she enjoys, which goes a long way to make her appealing. But rejecting writers is part of the job. After a series of agency rejections, someone starts sending nasty e-mails, then moves onto cruel pranks, and, finally, murder. Donovan’s longtime friend, a former FBI profiler, and an NYPD cop try to keep ahead of the murders and keep Donovan safe. Boasting an exciting pace, well-constructed scenes, and inside information about the publishing world, this engaging mystery will attract readers of P. D. James’ similar Original Sin, an Adam Dalgliesh crime story set in the London publishing world.." —Booklist
