Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
At a pace any locomotive would envy, O'Brien's newest romantic thriller (after Crimson Rain) moves from the dead-end musings of its lovestruck narrator, literary agent Mary Beth Conahan, to writer Tony Blake, the client she's been infatuated with for three years. Barely a dozen pages into the book, Blake is found brutally murdered in a West Hollywood bedroom alongside Mary Beth's ex-husband. The weapon-a rare ivory Chinese dildo. When a duplicate dildo dispatches Mary Beth's hottest author, who's been holed up in a seedy motel working on what appears to be a threatening true crime tell-all, Mary Beth becomes the prime suspect. Her predicament worsens after her former best friend (the titular cheerleader) turns up needing a place to stay and someone to help her outwit her unsavory husband, who may be testing a harmful substance on their daughter, Jade. Before long, Mary Beth finds herself in mortal danger and in a romantic predicament, as two very viable love interests-investigating detective Dan Rucker and her ex-lover Patrick Llewellen-vie for her affection. Mary Beth's straightforward first-person narration won't snare readers like a siren's call, but the story's frenetic pacing and many convoluted twists will.

Product Description
Successful L.A. literary agent Mary Beth Conahan has come a long way from her troubled past. But when Mary Beth's ex-husband and her bestselling author are killed, she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. And if that's not bad enough an old friend -- Lindy Van Court -- shows up with troubles of her own.
In high school, Lindy was everything Mary Beth was not: a cheerleader who dated and finally married Roger Van Court, the wealthiest boy in school. Now, however, Roger has thrown Lindy out of their pricey San Francisco home. She's living on the streets, denied access to her only child.
Mary Beth can't turn her old friend away. But almost immediately their lives are threatened. Caught up in a series of terrifying events, Mary Beth will uncover more that she bargained for -- a sinister plot and a heartbreaking secret that will change Mary Beth's life forever.
