So excited!
I am a finalist in lj_nanowrimo's "A Novel Competition" (writing book blurbs for our 2011 NaNoWriMo NaNovels)! Go, me! Here's the entry with the winner and other finalists: http://lj-nanowrimo.livejournal.com/200700.html
But in case you don't want to read anyone's but mine...
Detective Richard Tracy isn't your average dick. He's a werewolf, but no one else on the force knows it, including his attractive partner, Virginia Sterling. When Tracy and Sterling respond to a homicide at the mansion of local wealthy entrepreneur and philanthropist on Halloween night, they think they might have a high-profile case on their hands. But it turns out the victim only looks like a celebrity. In fact, several guests at the party bear a striking resemblance to various actors and actresses; that’s why they were invited. The rest in the crowd have famous names like O. Henry and Dorothy Parker instead of famous faces.
And just like those famous faces and names, not everything in the case is as it seems either. Not only has the victim’s identification gone missing, but so has the millionaire’s assistant and the agent who booked the doppelgangers for the party. On top of that, Detective Tracy is attacked and seemingly inconsequential evidence taken from him. As the investigation proceeds, Tracy and Sterling uncover a second (earlier) murder across town.
Did the same person murder both victims? Are the cases even connected? Who took the evidence from Tracy, and why? Will Tracy’s special physiology help or hinder the case? Will he manage to keep his secret from his partner, the Department and the world? Find out in, “The Name’s The Same”.
