Book ID/图书代码: 03880017B99106
English Summary/英文概要: Few American novels are as beloved as Alma Glaze’s Revolutionary War epic, Oh, Shenandoah. Although Glaze died before she could write a sequel, she left behind an outline for one, along with instructions that it not be written until fifty years after her death. The deadline has passed, and the American public clamors for the long-promised Sweet Land of Liberty. Only one thing stands in its way: Glaze’s heirs.
Her daughter, socialite Mavis Glaze, is writing the novel under guidance from her mother, who she claims has been appearing in her dreams. As Mavis’s writing spirals farther into madness, her brothers hire Stewart Hoag, a ghostwriter famous for dealing with troublesome celebrities. When he arrives at the family’s Virginia manor, he finds that Alma’s is not the only unsettled spirit. Blood was spilt for Oh, Shenandoah, and more will die before the sequel hits the bestseller list.

她的女儿, 社会名流梅维斯•格莱斯, 正是在她母亲的指导下写这本小说的,她说她的母亲一直在她的梦中出现。随着梅维斯的写作越发疯狂, 她的兄弟们聘请史都华•霍格, 因处理棘手的名人而闻名的代笔作家。当他到达弗吉尼亚庄园时, 他发现, 阿尔玛不是唯一的心神不宁的人。血溅满了《哦,谢南多厄河》,更多的人将会在续集发表之前的死去。(Sandy)
