Synopsis
Annie Anderson has felt like a fake since she was 18 years old. Now a successful award-winning investigative journalist, she is 30 and burnt out. She needs a break from writing about paedophile rings and drug addicts. She also can't keep running from herself. She takes the soft option of becoming a fashion correspondent for Handbag, a glossy, in order to get some distance from the horrors of her previous job. A cushy number in New York, Milan and Paris covering the fluffy world of fashion might just give her the perspective she needs. Unfortunately, reality comes crashing in when the young wunderkind designer Mark Mailer whom she is assigned to profile, is shot in front of her in a bungled raid on a nightclub. Annie is convinced this shooting isn't some hit and run accident. Soon her old self emerges as her journalistic instincts lead her into a dangerous world of fakes, freaks, kidnaps and swindles. Annie discovers that fashion is as dark as it is glamorous. As she digs out the truth, she digs into her own past and finally learns to stop running.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 272 pages. Who would leave a highly respected, hard-won position as an investigative jou rnalist at one of London?s top newspapers for a job at a fashion rag? That?s the question on everyone?s mind when Annie Anderson announces she?s making the move. True, the last few months have been tough on Annie, who remains haunte d by memories of an undercover sting gone wrong that left an innocent woman dead . But a glossy magazine? It just doesn?t seem very Annie. Her colleagues assum e she?s lost it, but Annie has her secret reasons.After a few days at Handbag, Annie realizes that being a fashion editor is going to be much harder than she ever anticipated. Thrown into the heart of New York Fashion Week, she is unprepa red for her new world?s bewildering hierarchy?though she?s becoming increa singly familiar with ?that fashion feeling? she gets when facing constant co mparisons to the über-thin, ultra-glam women around her. It would be easier wor king in a war zone than getting the right seat at the Marc Jacobs show.But if th ere?s one thing Annie knows, it?s interviewing. So when she scores an exclus ive with the hot up-and-coming designer Mark Mailer, she?s back on familiar gr ound. The gossip du jour has Mark and his supermodel girlfriend Patty Lang on th e outs after Patty?s disastrous and very public return to her first heroin. An nie senses there?s much more to the story, but before she can coax Mark to ope n up, he?s dead?shot before Annie?s eyes in what appears to be attempted r obbery.Though shaken, Annie believes that Mark?s death was anything but random , and a grief-stricken Patty agrees. From New York to London to Milan, while tak ing on a tyrannical boss, slick-as-oil PR execs, and egomaniacal designers with. N° de réf. du vendeur 5869d
