A romance in which five people work together to uncover what a corporate shark who has seized control of one of New York's most distinguished literary agencies is really after, and in so doing find that even their own lives are subject to change at any given moment.
Laura Van Wormer grew up in Darien, Connecticut, graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, and has spent most of her adult life working in publishing. She is the author of eleven previous novels. The Kill Fee is the fifth in the Sally Harrington series, although some of the characters - most notably the group at DBS News - are in her earlier novels Riverside Drive, West End, Any Given Moment and Talk.
Laura divides her time between Manhattan and Meriden, Connecticut.
Dorothy and Henry Hillings are nurturing, honest, loving literary agents. When their agency is victim of a hostile take over several of their clients come to their aid. What does the new company want? Why did they padlock the door to Hillings & Hillings? Why are they launching a smear campaign against them?
It's quite complex and intriguing. The clients are threatened and smeared by the new agency, but no one knows why? Let's just say not all is as it appears in NYC, LA, or Hollywood. It was an interesting novel and I do recommend it.
