I Am Danvers - Paperback

Twenty-eight year old Marie Danvers struggles to find security in an insecure world. Then she meets Ian, a seductive conman who offers her apprenticeship in fleecing high net worth marks whose blind spots are ripe for exploitation. But instead of security, Danny's initiation into art theft via private domestic service leads her into a romantic obsession with wild child Calista who's about to be married. When her fantasies end in disaster, Danny lands a dream job in Los Angeles where tabloid celebrity Bebe Patten is about to take her on the joyride of her life. Set against the backdrop of a cutthroat film industry where lust, desperation and unhinged ambition collide, Danny is about to discover she's nothing more than a pawn in a covert game that will have lethal consequences.

Though conceived as an updated prequel to Daphne du Maurier's classic novel "Rebecca," the novel is a separate chronicle focused on a young Mrs. Danvers, exploring Danny's reimagined backstory as a con artist as well as her intense obsessions with unattainable women. The narrator's wryly ironic voice pulls you into a world where everybody's true motives are hidden, even her own.
