He gets his wish -- and more -- when a troupe of flashy, urbane filmmakers clamors into the nearby town of Drim. Before long bedlam erupts around their make-believe mystery ...and culminates in the sudden appearance of one very real corpse.\u003cbr\u003eThe initial suspect in the killing is one Patricia Martyn-Broyd, the aging mystery writer furious that her musty old cozies are getting a risque face-lift in their TV reincarnation. Yet, going behind the scenes, Hamish soon finds a town full of locals bitten by the movie bug and a cast of quarreling show business types, all harboring their own secrets, lies, and hidden agendas. And as the culprit strikes again, Hamish must quickly find the right killer -- or script the wrong finale to a show gone murderously awry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysterious Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892966448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.65w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1998 pg. 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/13\/1998 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/1998 pg. 1374\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1998 pg. 696\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/19\/1998 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"M.
