Riassunto

After witnessing the murder of a neighbor, a handsome Latin actor, by his beautiful lover, down-on-his-luck Hollywood screenwriter Bobby Newman uses his hidden knowledge of the crime to seduce the killer and insinuate himself into the murder investigation of detective Farentino, with plans to write a successful screenplay about the crime. A first novel.

Recensione

"Death by Hollywood heralds a devastatingly funny new voice in fiction. Steven Bochco takes us on a twisty and dark murder investigation, hitting producers, writers, actors, and cops squarely below the belt, where, as you all know, Hollywood resides. This is a book you can’t put down. If Bochco doesn't write another one soon, I'll personally drive over to his house and start begging. A classic."
--Stephen J. Cannell

"A vulgar, sex-filled romp—in the best sense: good, nasty fun."
--Kirkus Reviews
