Three Ways to Die
Three Dazzling, Widely-Acclaimed Stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg in One Thrilling Collection.
In "Jack Webb's Star," a struggling reporter comes up with a bizarre scheme in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate his love life. In "Remaindered", a once-famous novelist embarks on a self-financed book tour through middle America to save his career...and discovers a novel way to die. And in "Bumsicle," a homeless woman freezes to death, unlocking troubling memories for a weary cop and a powerful Chief of Police.
