This book honors the founder of Ebony magazine.

She may be a bestselling author, but ex-librarian Jacqueline Kirby's views on the publishing biz aren't fit to print. In fact, she's thinking of trading celebrity for serenity and a house far away from fiendish editors and demented fans when her agent whispers the only words that could ever make her stay: Naked in the ice. Until a series of nasty accidents convince her much to late that someone wants to bring Jacqueline's story - and her life - to a premature end.
