Monkey Me Monkey You (Media Mysteries)

Who owns a secret?

In the glimmering labyrinth of New York's book publishing industry, where every title could be a ticket to fame or a precursor to downfall, Monkey Me, Monkey You weaves a compelling tale of mystery that blurs the line between the cozy corners of a mystery novel and the sharp edges of a police procedural.
Nevada Leacock, a veteran book editor at the prestigious Fraser Greene publishing house, has a discerning eye for detail and an unwavering passion for the written word. Her world, usually confined to the margins of manuscripts and the orderliness of text, is violently upended when an active shooter's rampage turns the Fraser Greene office into a scene more harrowing than any imagined thriller.
As the shooter escapes and the hostages emerge, Nevada learns of the death of Jasper Inniskillen, a once-celebrated author in the Fraser Greene catalog. The timing is as suspicious as the demise itself, and Nevada's instincts tell her the two events are more than just coincidentally aligned.
Determined to uncover the truth, Nevada embarks on an investigative journey that pulls her deep into the underbelly of the literary world she thought she knew. From the sparkling façades of the annual Book Fair, where authors are crowned and deals are made, to the deceptive tranquility of Long Island's elite enclaves, every discovery Nevada makes is laced with more danger than the last.
As she delves into Jasper's complex legacy—a tapestry of hidden motives, buried secrets, and a trail of envious rivals—Nevada's quest becomes a perilous navigation through a maze of deceit. The closer she gets to the heart of the mystery, the more she realizes that her editing and mentoring skills may be her greatest defense in parsing fact from fiction, and allies from enemies.
Monkey Me Monkey You is not just a story of murder and intrigue; it's an exploration of the power of ambition and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect their secrets.

With each step forward, she risks becoming another casualty in a high-stakes game where the pen is mightier than the sword, and the printer's ink may as well be blood.
In this masterful blend of suspense and wit, authorship becomes synonymous with survival, and the next page you turn could be your last. Will Nevada decipher the final chapter before it's too late, or will she fall victim to a plot designed to silence her inquiries permanently?
