Author Carmen Pollini's reputation for having a hot temper gets her in trouble when a delivery truck driver is found dead in her driveway. Unless she can convince the sheriff that she's innocent, she'll be charged with murder. Adding to her predicament are other concerns. A fan has been sending her suggestive gifts, someone else is harassing her by e-mail, and she discovers that her agent has been withholding advances and royalties. Then of course there is the old "incident" in her past.
