Star Struck: A Quinn Collins Mystery (Five Star First Edition Mystery Series) - Hardcover
Hollywood Star reporter Quinn Collins thinks she's seen it all--covering the oddball beat that is Tinsel Town--until she stumbles upon the body of young Shane King, a notoriously incompetent "baby mogul" producer, dead in his hot tub of an apparent heroin overdose.
Shane was many things, most of them nasty, but he was not a user--he'd never fully recovered from his older brother's tragic drug overdose death several years earlier. Quinn, with her snooping skills honed to an art form, can't refuse a plea for help from the boy's father, with whom she once had a torrid love affair.
When another "accident" kills Shane's girlfriend, Quinn picks up a trail that leads back to a ten-year-old murder and a cover-up by some heavy Hollywood hitters. As Quinn knows, in La La Land, it's all about connections--even when those connections turn deadly.

When Shane King, a Hollywood "baby mogul" and the son of one of Hollywood Star reporter Quinn Collins's former lovers, is found dead of a heroin overdose after vowing never to touch the stuff Quinn grudgingly agrees to play amateur detective. Nobody's talking, though, and when one of Shane's friends dies in a suspicious car crash, Quinn begins to suspect a larger plot, which might include the cover-up of a long-ago crime and the scions of prominent local families in Nancy Baker Jacobs's Star Struck: A Quinn Collins Mystery, the first installment in a new series.
