Loser's Town (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439101445)

Private investigator David Spandau, an ex-stuntman familiar with the ins and outs of Hollywood--a smart, tough, and wickedly funny observer of la vie L.A.--finds his patience almost sapped when he's hired to protect actor Bobby Dye from a blackmailing scheme gone wrong. Dye--young, brash, and on the verge of becoming a major star--has been set up by gangster Richie Stella, a nightclub owner and drug dealer with dreams of becoming a Hollywood producer.

And he has a movie perfect for Dye. Problem is, it's the worst script anyone's ever read. But Richie is not easy to say no to, and when he retaliates, the game becomes deadly for more than a few of its players. Charged with the elements of all great L.A. noir--crackling dialogue, fast-paced plot, and seedy, jaded characters--Loser's Town is a deftly written thriller and a gruesomely hilarious depiction of what goes on beneath those white letters on the mountainside
