A Little Trouble with the Facts : A Novel

A Little Trouble with the Facts
Author(s): Nina Siegal

Valerie Vane was an up-and-coming lifestyle reporter at a prominent New York City daily. Then she stumbled, rather publicly, and lost it all—her column, her fiancé, her access behind the city's velvet ropes. Now she's on the obituary desk writing death notices, and it feels like a dead end.

However, when she writes about a recently deceased once-famous graffiti artist, the phone calls start. A mysterious voice on the other end of the line tells her the artist's death was a murder—and if she were a real reporter, she'd investigate.

But can Valerie trade her stilettos for gumshoes?

Review(s):
“WHAT YOU’LL LOVE: Siegal’s talent for nailing the details that illuminate an era -- from the mid-’80s art boom to the late ‘90s social swirl -- makes for a transporting read.”
“Witty…Nina Siegal gets it right.”
“An absorbing tale. Siegal is a delightful writer.”
“Siegal blends glamour and gutter into a delicious cocktail, equal parts behind-the-scenes dish and crime novel.”
“A great read.”
“Siegal has subtly rejuvinated the (noir) genre.”
“More proof that the hardboiled novel is alive and kicking: a novel that is both thrilling to read and beautifully written. Smart, fast, funny!”
“A novel as rich as it is eminently readable. Good luck putting A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH THE FACTS down for the night.”
“I know I’m only the first of many readers who will fall in love with Valerie Vane, irresistible heroine of Nina Siegal’s wonderfully witty novel. A compulsively readable debut.”
“Valerie Vane is the best thing to hit the newspaper biz since Rosalind Russell cracked wise with Cary Grant. She’s smart, she’s funny, she’s sexy.”
