People call Cheryl Martinez a trophy wife. She doesn't much care; Ruben Martinez can't live forever. When he stops, she’ll be able to start living.

She’s counting the days until one of Aaron Echolls’ home movies plays on Entertainment News. The bed in Aaron’s pool house looks familiar. So does the back of the woman writhing on top of Aaron. Things could get awkward with Ruben if the naked back in the movie turns out to be Cheryl’s. The prenup was specifically punitive in that regard.

She hires Keith Mars to find out if it is her in the blue movie, and to recover the tape if it’s not too late.

“Sounds like she’s got those blue movie blues,” Veronica drawled.

Blue Movie Blues is a 34,000-word novella set in the spring of Veronica Mars’ senior year at Neptune High. Keith Mars is the lead investigator, but it’s Veronica who tracks down Cheryl's blue movie.
