Dorothy Parker meets Agatha Christie.
"Chick-lit noir with a side of funny." - Ruth Harris, NYT best-selling author of "Modern Women" and "Husbands and Lovers".
After her celebrity ex-husband's ironic joke about her "kinky sex habits" is misquoted in a tabloid, New York etiquette columnist Camilla Randall's life unravels in bad late night jokes.
Nearly broke and down to her last Hermes scarf, she accepts an invitation to a Z-list Writers' Conference in the wine-and-cowboy town of Santa Ynez, California, where, unfortunately, a cross-dressing dominatrix plies her trade by impersonating Camilla.
When a ghostwriter's plot to blackmail celebrities with faked evidence leads to murder, Camilla must team up with the dominatrix to stop the killer.
Meanwhile, a wannabe writer who happens to be a hot L.A. cop just may steal her heart.
