Book Description

October 1988
Les Roberts, the award winning Private Eye Writer, continues the series of mysteries in this adventure set in Hollywood, from the boardrooms of network television to the netherworld of dimly-lit bars. Screen actor Saxon, moonlighting as a detective, investigates an acquaintance's explosive death when the police won't. He runs afoul of the minions of Hollywood, and his investigation leads in two directions at the same time. The climax is a sudden and fiery death. Exceptional suspence. Fascinating, fast-paced reading for your electronic reader.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Robbie Bingham is an aspiring young actor and part-time male hustler; Steven Brandon is the powerful programming chief of a major network. The only thing they will ever share is a stop sign in Beverly Hills. As their cars draw abreast of each other, Bingham's explodes, killing him and badly injuring Brandon. Who was the intended victim? Was someone out to snuff Robbie or was he merely a delivery boy sent to take Brandon's life? Both Robbie's lover and Brandon himself call upon actor/private detective Saxon to investigate. Armed with the names of suspects avid to replace Brandon as network chief as well as those of the drifters who, like Robbie, hustle on Santa Monica Boulevard, Saxon begins his search, rendered with a fine blend of laughter, action and heart. Though a far-too-obvious clue reveals the murderer's identity to the reader well before it should, the author's ability to evoke both the seamy and glitzy side of the movie world makes the lapse forgivable. His portraits of a lusty, aging Hollywood star, a teenage runaway and Saxon himself (first met in An Infinite Number of Monkeys) make one look forward to Saxon's next case.

From Library Journal

Appealing series narrator and Los Angeles private investigator Saxon, a sometime actor, takes on the case of Robbie Bingham, a beautiful, gay actor and part-time hustler killed by a bomb blast in his car. The explosion also injures a man in another car, Steve Brandon, programming chief at Triangle Broadcasting Company, so Saxon investigates both men. While Bingham had few enemies, Brandon inspired many, including an attractive but ruthless lesbian program developer and an aging, nymphomaniac actress. A basically slick and superficial jaunt through the sex and sleaze of Boys Town. REK
