  A romance book festival comes to Winterspell, but not everyone is feeling the love. 
   
   
   
  Small-town journalism isn't exactly a thrill ride. Between PTA meetings and bake sale bulletins, I was drowning in monotony. But when I begged my editor for a juicier assignment, I should've been careful what I wished for. 
   
   
   
  Enter the Summer Lovin' Book Festival. BOGO deals on paperbacks with a side of beefcake, as five hunky models vie to become the next Captain Riker Bones, the shirtless swashbuckler adorning Grandma Rose's favorite bodice-rippers. 
   
   
   
  Sure, a little eye candy never hurt anyone, but ten minutes of watching grown women cry over washboard abs has me wishing I'd volunteered to write up the waste management ordinances instead. 
   
   
   
  But when one of our would-be pirates turns up dead in his hotel room, my puff piece transforms into a full-blown murder mystery. And the plot thickens faster than my family's famous buttercream when a poison-laced cupcake from Sugar Shack is found at the scene. 
   
   
   
  Now I'm racing against time to catch a killer, clear my family's name, and keep Grandma Rose from sailing into the sunset with one of the wannabe pirates. Someone pass the rum.

  Celebrities get away with murder. 
   
   
   
  Assistant District Attorney Jessie Black doesn't believe that. She believes the law applies to everyone, and that justice and truth prevail. 
   
   
   
  But according to veteran prosecutor Ned Ransom, it's exactly what happened six years ago, when hip-hop superstar Jurdel Frazier threw his wife off a fifteenth floor hotel balcony and was found not guilty by a starstruck jury. 
   
   
   
  Now history repeats itself. Police find the cold, dead body of Frazier's new girlfriend, and Jessie finds herself next to Ransom at the prosecution table. 
   
   
   
  But is this a second chance for justice, or something more sinister—and deadly? The more Jessie uncovers, the more she worries that this case is not what it appears. 
   
   
   
  And the person she begins to trust the least is the prosecutor sitting next to her.

  New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has been hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, winning virtually every major award in the genre. The author of the enormously popular series featuring Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan as well as three critically lauded stand-alone novels, Lippman now turns her attention to short stories—and reveals another level of mastery. 
  Lippman sets many of the stories in this sterling anthology, Hardly Knew Her, in familiar territory: her beloved Baltimore, from downtown to its affluent suburbs, where successful businessmen go to shocking lengths to protect what they have or ruthlessly expand their holdings, while dissatisfied wives find murderous ways to escape their lives. But Lippman is also unafraid to travel—to New Orleans, to an unnamed southwestern city, and even to Dublin, the backdrop for the lethal clash of two not-so-innocents abroad. Tess Monaghan is here, in two stories and a profile, aligning herself with various underdogs. And in her extraordinary, never-before-published novella, Scratch a Woman, Lippman takes us deep into the private world of a high-priced call girl/madam and devoted soccer mom, exploring the mystery of what may, in fact, be written in the blood. 
  Each of these ingenious tales is a gem—sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, always filled with delightfully unanticipated twists and reversals. For people who have yet to read Lippman, get ready to experience the spellbinding power of ""one of today's most pleasing storytellers, hailed for her keen psychological insights and her compelling characterizations,"" (San Diego Union-Tribune), who has ""invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work"" (George Pelecanos). As for longtime devotees of her multiple award-winning novels, you'll discover that you hardly know her.

Second, the actor is a conspiracy enthusiast who sees a government plot in everything from Bigfoot to Area 51. And most importantly, the actor was wasted the night his girlfriend died, the RV was his, and she was locked inside. But the actor is not the only suspect. The dead woman was a former prostitute who had recently left the business, leaving a lot of potential suspects unhappy with her decision. She also had sensitive, intimate knowledge of her clients that could have been used for extortion. Some secrets are meant to be buried in the high desert of northern Nevada.
