NAKED ONCE MORE - Hardcover
She may be a bestselling author, but ex-librarian Jacqueline Kirby's views on the publishing biz aren't fit to print. In fact, she's thinking of trading celebrity for serenity and a house far away from fiendish editors and demented fans when her agent whispers the only words that could ever make her stay: Naked in the Ice.
Seven years ago, this blockbuster skyrocketed Kathleen Darcy to instant fame. Now the author's heirs are looking for a writer to pen the sequel. It's an opportunity no novelist in her right mind would pass up, and there's no doubting Jacqueline's sanity...until she starts digging through the missing woman's papers--and her past. Until she gets mixed up with Kathleen's enigmatic lover. Until a series of nasty accidents convince her much too late that someone wants to bring Jacqueline's story--and her life--to a premature end.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A first UK edition hardback in very good condition for its age. Bumped at head of book spine. Age tanning to pages. The dust jacket is complete but is unpriced. It is showing some slight signs of wear to the extremities and there is some light creasing to correspond with the bump. The rear panel is a little grubby. Sunned at top edge of flaps. SYNOPSIS: "Jacqueline Kirby has been selected to write the sequel to the greatest blockbuster of all time, Naked in the Ice (a cross between the Clan of the Cave Bear and Gone with the Wind), whose author, Kathleen Darcy is missing and presumed dead. While researching the novel in Darcy's rural West Virginia hometown, Jacqueline becomes the victim of some decidedly nasty "accidents" and her attention is diverted from the novel to solving the mystery of Darcy's disappearance before she meets the same fate."
