Lindsey reluctantly takes on the assignment and soon finds herself face to face with the retreat’’s reclusive owner and noted author, Odious Clay. With the help of Conrad Trent, her managing editor and closest confidant, she digs into the background of the retreat, Odious Clay and the eclectic group of residents and attendees and soon finds herself facing a publisher’’s greatest nightmare –– plagiarism peppered with a dash of murder.
