A literary conference at a fancy Manhattan hotel becomes a crime scene in this fun mystery by an author who "writes with a light touch" (New York Daily News).
Jake O'Hara and her colleagues are looking forward to a complimentary weekend in Manhattan's swanky Plaza Hotel, the venue for the Greater New York Crime Writers' Conference. The conference kicks off on St. Patrick's Day, making the atmosphere a bit more festive—and chaotic—than usual. But things get way out of hand when senator-turned-writer Charlie Fione and actress-turned-writer Holly Halligan partake of some green beer—that leaves them permanently green around the gills.

Now Jake's Irish eyes are far from smiling as she delves into a mystery and tries to rewrite a murderer's plot—as only New York City's finest ghostwriter can.

"Murders multiply, but Jake proves up to the challenge . . . All the characters are charmingly kooky and fun . . . We will be looking for more of Jake O'Hara." —The Mystery Reader

"A very funny lady." —Donna Andrews, New York Times–bestselling author of the Meg Langslow series
