Opis
A novel by Sam Baker
Who would leave a highly respected, hard-won position as an investigative journalist at one of Londons top newspapers for a job at a fashion rag? Thats the question on everyones mind when Annie Anderson announces shes making the move. True, the last few months have been tough on Annie, who remains haunted by memories of an undercover sting gone wrong that left an innocent woman dead. But a glossy magazine? It just doesnt seem very Annie. Her colleagues assume shes lost it, but Annie has her secret reasons.After a few days at Handbag, Annie realizes that being a fashion editor is going to be much harder than she ever anticipated. Thrown into the heart of New York Fashion Week, she is unprepared for her new worlds bewildering hierarchythough shes becoming increasingly familiar with that fashion feeling she gets when facing constant comparisons to the ber-thin, ultra-glam women around her. It would be easier working in a war zone than getting the right seat at the Marc Jacobs show.But if theres one thing Annie knows, its interviewing. So when she scores an exclusive with the hot up-and-coming designer Mark Mailer, shes back on familiar ground. The gossip du jour has Mark and his supermodel girlfriend Patty Lang on the outs after Pattys disastrous and very public return to her first love: heroin. Annie senses theres much more to the story, but before she can coax Mark to open up, hes deadshot before Annies eyes in what appears to be attempted robbery.Though shaken, Annie believes that Marks death was anything but random, and a grief-stricken Patty agrees. From New York to London to Milan, while taking on a tyrannical boss, slick-as-oil PR execs, and egomaniacal designers with the depth of a linen blouse, Annie searches for answers. But in the pursuit of a good story, Annie must not lose sight of her common senseor the consequences could make her the next fashion victim.From the Hardcover edition.
