β¦ Synopsis
Hoagy tries to save a client from the deadly world of high-stakes publishingStewart Hoag knows how quickly fame can fade. 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.οΏ½By the age of twenty, Cam Noyes is already being hailed as the next F. Scott Fitzgerald. Though heοΏ½s 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. So glamorous is his lifestyle that heοΏ½s having trouble starting his second novel, forcing his agent to hire Hoagy to get the little genius working on a memoir instead. As Hoagy digs into the kidοΏ½s life story, he learns that New York publishing is even more cutthroat than he thought.
