      abstract = {Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow  took solace in the mystery stories she read with her  devoted father--and soon she was writing them herself,  slowly graduating to dark, violent, complex crime stories  that reflected skill and imagination far beyond her years.  After her father's early death, at fourteen Alex is taken  in by the nuns of a local convent, where she finds  twenty-six mothers to take the place of the one she lost,  and the time and encouragement to pursue her gift. As she  climbs the ladder of publishing success, however, she does  so with her father's admonition firmly in mind: men read  crime stories by men, only--and so Alexandra Winslow  publishes under the pseudonym Alexander Green, her true  identity known only to a few close associates. Moving from  Alex's childhood to her forties, through loss and triumph,  the inner workings of the publishing world and Hollywood  adaptations--with the truth behind the celebrated Alexander  Green concealed at all costs.},
