Linda Peterson, Stanford alum, presenting her new thriller "Edited to Death"

Edited to Death

by Linda Peterson

Trivia-maven Maggie Fiori has all the ingredients for a perfect life — a handsome, attentive husband, two terrific kids, a reliable au pair, a house on the hill with views to die for, and a satisfying freelance life, working for the enigmatic Quentin Hart, editor of Small Town, San Francisco's chicest city magazine. But what wouldn't she do for a little excitement? Bored with carpools and itching to shed her khaki wrap-around skirt, Maggie makes a dangerous decision. Risking everything, Maggie enters the world of sexual misadventure and intrigue that begins in Oxford and ends on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Edited to Death is a delicious whodunit packed with the glamour and eccentricity of a wonderfully nuanced San Francisco.
