Mystery
After waking up the neighborhood with The Morning Show
Murders, and keeping readers up late solving The Midnight
Show Murders, Al Roker returns with his most tantalizing
mystery to date. Celebrity chef turned sleuth Billy Blessing
finds his plate full of danger once again, as secrets from
his long-buried past threaten to make a comeback. Before Billy had his five-star restaurant in New York,
before he was tapped to co-host the morning show Wake Up,
America! and travel with it for a week in the Windy
City—before he even assumed the name Billy Blessing—he lived
a totally different life under a very different identity: as
wily con man Billy Blanchard. Caught trying to run a scam on
a shady Detroit businessman, Billy did time for his crimes,
reinvented himself, and has successfully kept that part of
his past covered up ever since. But when he and Eddie
Patton, a nosy ex-cop with a long memory, are guests on a
popular Chicago TV talk show, the off-camera chat turns to
blackmail. And Billy may have no choice but to pay up or see
the embarrassing truth from being blogcast to the world on
Patton’s true crime website. This being Chicago, secrets have a way of getting out—and
getting people killed. When Patton winds up dead in his
apartment only hours after trying to shake Billy down, it’s
just the first in a string of killings that has America’s
most beloved TV host scrambling for clues, unsure who his
friends are, and desperate to clear his name before he
becomes the media’s latest poster child for celebrity
scandal. Throw in a budding romance with a visiting movie
star and Billy Blessing may have finally gotten himself into
one sticky situation even he can’t talk his way out of. Fast-paced, funny, and bubbling over with inside scoop on
the business they call show, The Talk Show Murders is Al
Roker mystery fiction at its delicious, dishy best.
