KILLER HEELS
All Molly Forrester wants is to find that one big story that can redirect her journalism career away from the sex/relationship advice column she writes for Zeitgeist magazine ("wedged somewhere between Marie Claire and Cosmo") and back to the serious news business. But she didn't expect to trip over it, especially when "it" turned out to be the bloody body of one of her coworkers, and she certainly didn't expect to ruin her brand new Jimmy Choos over it.

Never mind, though--she knows that solving the murder of one of the magazine world's most notorious lady's men will solve all her problems, including assauging her guilt for blowing a month's salary on a pair of shoes ruined in one night. All Molly needs is a little help from her girlfriends, and perhaps a few detecting lessons from that cute homicide detective.... Or is he cozying up because he thinks she's a killer?

This is Molly's totally charming, wildly clever, and puzzling debut about murder - and sex - in the Big Apple. What she and her friens find, is that, compared to negotiating Manhattan's singles scene, solving one eensy teensy stabbing shouldn't be that big a deal, right?

KILLER COCKTAIL
Zeitgeist magazine advice columnist Molly Forrester is trying to stay out of trouble after tripping headlong into murder in Killer Heels. Heading out to the Hamptons with her two best friends, Tricia and Cassady, to attend Tricia's brother's engagement party and also to take a break from her heated but confusing romance with an NYPD homicide detective, that's the last thing Molly gets.

Just after the party, the bride-to-be turns up dead, drowned in the pool at Tricia's aunt's house. And before you can say Manolo Blahnik, Molly is immersed in murder once again.

It isn’t long before suspicion is cast on Tricia’s brother. Was this a case of jealousy or something much deeper? Now Molly must follow a trail of sex, lies, and streaming video back to Manhattan, but her sleuthing efforts are complicated when her ex-boyfriend, NYPD homicide detective Kyle Edwards, interferes with the case—and with Molly’s heart…

KILLER DEAL
“You need a body. A really cool dead body . . .”

Molly Forrester’s best friends know exactly what the Zeitgeist magazine advice columnist needs to prove herself as a true journalist. And when Manhattan advertising maverick Garth Henderson is murdered, she just might finally get that chance with this juicy assignment: an exclusive interview with Gwen Lincoln, the victim’s ex-wife and the prime suspect.

Was it a crime of passion---or something more? Manhattan’s business circles are buzzing with rumors that it’s related to Garth’s buyout of a rival advertising firm. Or infighting among “The Harem,” his six beautiful, talented, and ruthlessly competitive creative directors. Or fashion designer Emile Trebask, Garth’s one-time client and now Gwen’s business partner.

As if solving the ad world’s most notorious murder on deadline wasn’t enough, Molly must contend with a fickle editor with her own agenda, a best friend colliding head-on with true love, and ex-boyfriend Peter Mulcahy trying to worm his way into her story and back into her life. Will it all be too much for Molly’s current boyfriend, NYPD homicide detective Kyle Edwards?

Determined to catch the killer and beat the competition, Molly Forrester digs in her four-inch Jimmy Choos because there’s no turning back. In Manhattan, when you strike a deal, you see it through. Even if it kills you.

KILLER RIFF
Glossy mag columnist Molly Forrester has been working her tail off to get recognized as an investigative journalist and has even solved a few murders along the way, but none of that matters to her editor, who's more than happy to keep Molly tied down to her Dear Abby roots.

Thankfully, though, her publisher has taken notice and has a lot more faith: Molly's been promoted, and her first assignment as a full-time feautre writer should be a cinch. It's a profile of Russell Elliott, the legendary rock manager/producer who just died of an accidental overdose. The rock 'n' roll world is pretty accustomed to seeing its brightest stars burn out early, and jaded as it sounds, no one is shocked by Elliott's death -- no one except his daughter, that is, who is convenced that it was no accident.

All Molly has to do to keep her new job, pump up newsstand sales, and win back reluctant beau NPYD homicide detective Kyle Edwards is give Elliott a once-over like a devoted fan, without looking too deeply at anything that smacks of murder, like his infamous family, his infighting proteges, or the rumor about his long-lost bootleg tapes. What could be easier for Zeitgeist magazine's newest star? Almost anything.

Smart, sexy, and suspenseful, Killer Riff takes readers on a thrilling tour of New York's high-stakes music industry ad makes for a stylishly entertaining addition to Sheryl J. Anderson's jazzy Molly Forrester series.
