So begins an evening unlike any other in Port Charles. When high-powered attorney Diane Miller agrees to meet with computer hacker extraordinaire Damian Spinelli, she knows she’s in for an interesting night. But, the stories he has to tell about some of Port Charles’ most famous, and infamous, inhabitants are beyond her wildest imagination. Could these tales possibly be true Or is Spinelli, otherwise known as The Jackal, using her for some other purpose
From the deck of the Smilin’ Lila to the halls of General Hospital, from the Case of the Vamping Valkyrie to the Case of the Contrived Contralto, these are Spinelli’s tales of intrigue, kidnapping, murder, and more. The office of Spinelli/McCall, P.I., has never been busier.
Spinelli may be a gumshoe like no other, but he will save, defend, and protect the citizens of Port Charles until the bitter end!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This bizarre collection of episodes about the life of a character on the long-running soap General Hospital, "written" by another show character, the lawyer Diane Miller, was, in something of a meta move (or more likely, marketing), actually penned by Carolyn Hennesy (Pandora Gets Angry), the actress, and writer, who portrays Miller on the show. Though the book is for diehard fans only, it's likely that even some of them won't be drawn to Spinelli's over-the-top fantasies. The nadir is the chapter in which Spinelli, a computer genius, happens to be in General Hospital, donating blood, when multiple traumas cause a crisis in the ER. Two patients have suffered severe cranial damage one is the father of the surgeon on call, and the other is the son of a gangster. Incredibly, Spinelli saves the day by stepping in to lend a hand after it's revealed that he was once one of the country's top surgeons. The section will confirm the worst suspicions of those who don't watch daytime dramas. The other 15 Spinelli exploits aren't much better, though there might be references and situations that resonate with devotees of the show.
