title: Double Double: A Dual Memoir of Alcoholism
author:  Martha Grimes 
description: <i>Double Double</i> could have been titled <i>Double-Barreled</i>it hits like a .12 gauge sawed-off at close range. The brutal illumination of a dual descent into alcoholism is also a penetrating insight: the lives of a mother and son run parallel, becoming intertwined only when each found their own, very separate, way out. This is no self-help bookit packs the narrative force of a Martha Grimes novel . . . and perfectly illustrates how the finest fiction is created only when its foundational basis is truth. (Andrew Vachss, New York Times bestselling author of Thats How I Roll and Blackjack)<br /><br />Run for the hills! Publishers, editors, writers, wannabe writers, literary hit menall are ruthlessly skewered in this wonderfully funny novel about the terrifying world of book publishing! (Ed McBain, New York Times bestselling author of the 87th Precinct series)<br /><br />If you thought there were strange, amazing twists and wildly eccentric characters in Martha Grimess Richard Jury novels, wait until you see what happens when she takes on the world of publishing. Foul Matter is a sharp, funny, satisfying caper for anyone who has ever wondered what really goes on in this crazy business. (Robert Parker, New York Times bestselling author of the Spenser series)
