Publisher Description
Hannah Doran is every tabloid’s dream: Hollywood pedigree (wild child of a charming and powerful producer and his cultured wife, who died mysteriously in her prime); best friends with entitled movie stars and celebutantes—and a loud, earth-shattering fall from grace when she was convicted of grand theft after a night of one-percenter excess.
But that's not real—or at least not what Hannah claims is her real life. Hannah is smart, devoted… and, she maintains, innocent of the felony that landed her in prison.
She's determined to make something positive of her life. But it's hard to break from her public image when everyone has a stake in her old role—her beguiling old cellmates, her ruthless father, a female studio exec with much to hide, and a gorgeous, ambitious photographer.
In a town built on image, is success more compelling than the truth—and is true redemption even possible?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Producer and script writer Marcott's well-crafted if familiar insider's look at nefarious movie studio machinations will resonate with fans of the glitzy novels of the late Jackie Collins. When Hannah Doran was a toddler in 1990, she and her au pair discovered her mother's dead body. A decade and a half later, her attempts to get attention from her producer father, Warren, have led to celebutante stunts climaxing in her arrest and incarceration. Hannah's release from women's prison coincides with Warren's well-publicized plans to relaunch his most successful film franchise with the questionable support of his studio's accomplished vice president, Alicia Chenoweth, and her boss, the vile Cody Takish. Meanwhile, paparazzi and former combat photojournalist Mitchell Arpino is hoping to capture some footage of Hannah to sell. Marcott (The Dead Celeb and two other Lucy Freers mysteries as by Lindsay Maracotta) doesn't offer anything new to the concept of sordid Hollywood, and the lack of likable characters will put off some readers.
