The same critics who adored his first novel used his second for target practice, ending his literary career once and for all. To keep his basset hound fed, Hoagy ghostwrites memoirs for the rich, famous, and self-destructive. His newest subject reminds him all too much of himself. By the age of twenty, Cam Noyes is already being hailed as the next F. Scott Fitzgerald. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Though he's only published one book, Cam runs with the big boys: dating artists, trashing restaurants, and ending every night in a haze of tequila and cocaine.

As Hoagy digs into the kid's life story, he learns that New York publishing is even more cutthroat than he thought. \u003c\/p\u003e This edition includes AJ Finn's introductory essay, \"It's Time to Discover Your New Sophisticated Sleuth Obsession: Stewart Hoag.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Handler (b. 1952) is the critically acclaimed author of several bestselling mystery series.
