Former Senator Dorothy Gibson, aka \u003ci\u003ethat \u003c\/i\u003ewoman, is the most talked-about person in the country right now, though largely for the wrong reasons. As an independent candidate for President of the United States, Dorothy split the vote and is being blamed for the shocking result. After her very public defeat, she’s retreated to her home in rural Maine, inviting her ghostwriter to join her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer collaborator is impressed by Dorothy’s work ethic and steel-trap mind, not to mention the stunning surroundings (and one particularly gorgeous bodyguard). But when a neighbor dies under suspicious circumstances, Dorothy is determined to find the killer in their midst. And when Dorothy Gibson asks if you want to team up for a top secret, possibly dangerous murder investigation, the only answer is: “Of course!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe best ghostwriters are adept at asking questions and spinning stories . . . two talents, it turns out, that also come in handy for sleuths. Dorothy’s political career, meanwhile, has made her an expert at recognizing lies and double-dealing. Working together, the two women are soon untangling motives and whittling down suspects, to the exasperation of local police. But this investigation—much like the election—may not unfold the way anyone expects . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Kemper Donovan’s voice is original, captivating, and assured.\" —Taylor Jenkins Reid, bestselling author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaisy Jones \u0026amp; the Six\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKemper Donovan\u003c\/b\u003e is an acclaimed author and host of the “All About Agatha” podcast.
