A mystery by Asimov

Sudden death at the publishing world's glittering annual convention. When the acclaimed protégé of writer Darius Just suddenly turns up dead at the annual convention of the American Booksellers Association, chaos and confusion sweep the autographing sessions, the buffet tables, the bars, and the famed hospitality suites. Darius is certain he can discover the murder. But only if the murderer doesn't find him first..

A forgotten gem

I love Isaac Asimov, and when I saw this old book at a used book store I couldn't resist! It was interestingly written, with Isaac Asimov not being the narrator - and introducing himself as a character! There are footnotes that will crack you up (the banter between Isaac and the "person" that is the narrator in the book is wonderful) and, best of all, a really great, twisted whodunit. The ending came together beautifully and unexpectedly, all written by a great (fantastic?) writer! I would highly recommend it, as well as his "Black Widower" short stories - if you can find them.
