Blurb:: FIVE FAMOUS AUTHORS...
Annie Laurance Darling, owner of the Death on Demand bookstore, usually loves the Dixie Book Festival. But this year, against her better judgment, she's acting as author liaison to the five writers chosen to receive the coveted Dixie Book awards. Annie has more than a sneaking suspicion that the next forty-eight hours will be trying, what with juggling five publicity-drunk authors and their prickly egos. What she doesn't figure on is publisher Kenneth Hazlitt, who arrives on Hilton Head Island prepared to peddle a juicy novel of his own: a steamy roman a clef that supposedly details the indiscretions of some famous Southern authors--Annie's gang of five.

FIVE LETHAL SECRETS...
Hazlitt plans to push his scurrilous book at a party thrown by Mint Julep Press. It's an invitation Annie can't refuse, to a hash that promises to be a party to die for. It is. And Hazlitt does, after a hit of bourbon liberally laced with poison. Unfortunately, the fatal glass is plastered with Annie's prints. And as more and more evidence points her way, Annie and husband Max have no choice but to find the missing book proposal and unearth the skeletons in the closets of her prize charges. It's the only way to catch a wily killer--before the police throw the book at Annie!
