Dirt

I finished reading "Dirt" by Stuart Woods. I've been putting books on my new shelves and I'm going start reading them and then donating them to the library.
I bought this one from the Villa Park Library a while ago.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Dirt takes place in the world of gossip columnists in New York and L.A. Amanda Dart, known as the "High Bitch Queen" of columnists has been exposing the peccadilloes of the glitterati for decades, carefully keeping quiet her own secret sex life with a series of very discreet boyfriends. Then, when a photographer bursts into a hotel suite, where Amanda is administering to her current beau, and takes extremely revealing photographs, her life is turned upside down, just as she has been turning other lives upside down for all these years. What's more, the following day a fax arrives on her office machine, a scandal sheet called, of course, Dirt, revealing all about her to the world. Yes, she even discovers that the fax has been sent to opinion makers throughout the city. Now Amanda has to attend the usual openings and parties and face everyone who hates her, everyone who has now seen a photograph of Amanda performing a deliciously vile act upon her lover. Amanda does not like this. Enter Stone Barrington, an ex-cop, now a lawyer and sometime investigator, and Amanda's lawyer puts them together. Stone finds himself hunting a wisp of smoke, a person who sends faxes from a series of copy shops around New York City, never using the same one twice. Inspite of nearly impossible odds, Stone and a couple of ex-cop buddies begin to make some progress in their investigation, and Stone's new girlfriend, Arrington Carter, seems to be right in the middle of the whole thing. Amanda gets madder and madder and crazier and crazier and, by the time Stone works the whole thing out, she and everybody else in the book gets his just desserts, some more than others.
