Ann DeLuisa, body double for drug-addled pop star Cherry Pye, is kidnapped by an obsessed paparazzo, and Cherry's entourage must rescue her while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public--and from Cherry herself. - Blackwell Publishing
Meet twenty-two-year-old Cherry Pye (née Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteenâand about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.
Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her âundercover stunt double,â Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too âindisposedââmeaning wastedâto go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.
Now the challenge for Cherryâs handlers (überâstage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whackerâwielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherryâs publicâand from Cherry herself.
The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skinkâthe unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swampâand now heâs heading for Miami to find her . . .
Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherryâs motley posse does?
All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane. - Random House, Inc.
