George Summers is a successful Southern California author who has his share of problems. For one thing, he has lately been feeling lonely and depressed. As a way to cope with his feelings, George has created "Jennifer," a fictitious character for his up-coming mystery novel. Jennifer represents George's "perfect woman," the one he desperately hopes to find in real life, a companion to draw him out of his depression. Lately, he has been thinking about Jennifer so often that he has developed an obsession for her. He actively searches for her in every female face he sees, especially as he composes his novel while sitting in a Hollywood coffee shop. In another part of town, an aspiring actress named Bridget Oliver is working as a waitress while she hopes for her big break into Hollywood. Out of the blue, her talent agent calls to inform her of a promising part. But when she attends the interview, Bridget discovers that her employer is a government agency, and her new job will be to "get close" to a domestic terrorist. To fulfill their request, she must act the role of a woman named Jennifer. She takes the job, but only because the monetary compensation will be significant - enough to get her out of debt. As a fascinatingly real "Jennifer" walks unexpectedly into the coffee shop and into George's life played expertly by Bridget, nothing is as it seems. A team of clever criminals is actually pulling the strings with deadly purpose. They plan to steal part of George's inheritance, a fantastic, multi-million-dollar art collection. However, the crooks didn't count on a twist in their "script." Without knowing each other's true selves, the actress and the novelist have fallen in love. Searching for Jennifer is a complex, adult-oriented, thought-provoking excursion into a world of art, deception, romance, and murder. This completely updated second edition is considered to be among Moody's best works.
