Description

Maggie Silver does her best to scramble up the ladder at an exclusive, high-powered PR firm in Southern California whose clients are movie stars and famous athletes. She is asked to take on her toughest client yet: Senator Henry Paxton, distinguished statesman from Southern California, who also happens to be the father of Anabelle, Maggie's best friend in high school. Senator Paxton's young female aide has been found murdered, and it is up to Maggie to run damage control and prevent the scandal from growing.

Thrown back into the Paxtons' glamorous world, Maggie is unexpectedly flooded with memories from the stormy years in high school, when her friendship with Anabelle was dramatically severed after a tragedy that neither of them has been able to forget. As Maggie gets further embroiled in the lives of the Paxtons, she realizes that the ties of her old friendship are stronger than she thinks.

Riveting and suspenseful, Damage Control examines our craving for celebrity and spectacle and how far the bonds of friendship can stretch before they break forever.

        Starred review from July 25, 2011
        In this excellent stand-alone from Hamilton (The Last Embrace), 33-year-old Maggie Silver works for "the top crisis management firm in L.A.," which represents movie stars and famous athletes and makes sure the client's version of a story gets told every time, and if that means burrowing for "new facts," so be it. With a mortgage to pay and an ill mother to support, Maggie can't afford to be too picky about her clients, and is willing to suppress personal qualms when her latest turns out to be Senator Henry Paxton, who's also the father of her estranged best friend from high school, Anabelle. The murder of Paxton's beautiful 23-year-old aide could put the senator's career at risk. As Maggie reconnects with Anabelle in the course of trying to contain the damage, she finds it difficult to separate the personal from the professional. The reappearance of old ghosts from Maggie's teenage years doesn't help. The suspenseful denouement should please Hamilton fans.
