Murder, corruption, and scandals rock Washington, D.C.... America’s most
famous ex-child star, Jana Lane, is playing a US Senator in a 1983 film. Just as
she and her family arrive in DC, two Washington power players are murdered, and
Jana is caught in the web of intrigue and political scandal. Jana falls under
the spell of the breathtakingly handsome detective assigned to the case,
ex-professional football player and food aficionado, Chris Bove. Will Jana and
Bove uncover the murderer’s identity and shocking secrets before Jana and her
family become the Capitol’s next victims?
“Porcelain Doll is Joe Cosentino at his finest. We are drawn back to the
fashions and attitudes of the 1980's in a character-driven story full of
intrigue and passion." Kirsty Vizard, Divine Magazine
“Beautifully written and intensely detailed, Porcelain Doll is one not to be
missed. Flirtatiously decadent with a strong moral undertone, set in a decade of
extraordinary social change this is a story of its period that is as poignant
today as it was then. Joe Cosentino controlled the emotions that the book
encouraged with a deft but delicate touch. Suspenseful and mysterious, Porcelain
Doll is a masterful creation, one that was impossible not to be affected by.”
Carol Fenton, BooksLaidBare Reviews
