Gone Guru

Noni Barlow is broke, jet-lagged and alone in New York with nothing but a dream and a manuscript. When her idol Joyce Carol Oates tells her that Born Again memoirs are so ' last year' , Noni' s big break starts to feel like a big mistake. To add to the general weirdness, she meets her new flatmate only once before he vanishes into thin air – and that' s even before Noni discovers he is a transcendental meditation guru with a massive following, and a million-dollar trust fund. Aided by an octogenarian social worker, and the sarcastic daughter of her Puerto Rican landlady, Noni finds herself deep in the case of the disappearing guru. Is this the new plot line she needs to save her writing career?
