About
"Jessica Fletcher has had plenty to worry about over her storied career, both as a bestselling novelist and part-time sleuth. But she never had any reason to doubt her longtime publisher and trusted friend Lane Barfield. When mounting evidence of financial malfeasance leads to an FBI investigation of Lane, Jessica can't believe what she's reading. So when it appears that Barfield has committed suicide, Jessica takes on the task of clearing his name. Sure enough, Jessica turns up several inconsistencies in the case against Barfield as well as the fact that he may have been murdered. Jessica knows something is being covered up, but what exactly? At the heart of her investigation lies a manuscript Barfield had intended to publish after all other publishers had turned it down. The problem is that manuscript has disappeared, all traces of its submission and very existence having been wiped off the books. Jessica's search for answers immerses her in a shadowy underground world and puts her on a dangerous path leading all the way to the White House. With her own life now in jeopardy, Jessica refuses to back off and sets her sights on uncovering the truth behind what lies in the pages of the mysterious manuscript, as well as the identity of the person who penned it. But will she close the book on the killer before they can write her obituary?"--
