A Shane Scully Novel.
Bestselling author and writer/producer Stephen J Cannell follows up 'The Tin Collectors' and 'The Viking Funeral' with this third gripping thriller featuring LA detective Shane Scully. A perfectly paced thriller sets in the high-stakes world Cannell knows best: Hollywood.
Back on the LAPD and hailed as a hero after taking down a deadly gang of rogue cops in 'The Viking Funeral', Shane Scully finds himself unwittingly involved in a criminal scheme to take over the movie business. Soon he will have to go deep undercover to take down a Hollywood conspiracy.
At a glamorous party with his new wife, Alexandra, Shane hears a world-famous producer make an ominous remark about the strange deaths of his ex-wives. This is more than police business, it's personal: Alexandra's closest friend is engaged to the producer.
When he looks closer, Scully discovers that the man's mysterious past may hide deadly secrets. To uncover them he must work alongside a former down-and-outer-turned-Hollywood impresario to infiltrate the movie business' violent dark side, a world where deals are settled with handshakes but broken with the spilling of blood, and where the danger to Scully's loved ones is all too real.
