By Marshall Karp. 2024
"Barry Gerber, one of the most hated and powerful producers in Hollywood, is a no-show for a red carpet movie…
premiere. The next morning he turns up dead. Exsanguinated. Drained of blood. No one at the Los Angeles Police Department has ever seen a murder like it. Everyone hated the victim. LAPD Detective Terry Biggs jokes that the murder could be an elaborate public service effort to make Hollywood a better place. But Biggs and his partner Detective Mike Lomax soon find all jokes are off when, two days later, the prime suspect, another despised show-business bad boy, is found murdered in the same sadistic manner. With two A-list Hollywood giants dead, the list of suspects in the mystery becomes as long as the credits in a summer blockbuster. Is it a story of revenge elevated to deadly new heights, a serial killer, or something even more diabolical? Their investigation leads them to a motive far more primal than they imagined. Complicating matters, after a recent high-profile case, Lomax and Biggs were in talks with Gerber to turn their story into a major Hollywood film. His death could mean the end of their dreams of fame and fortune in the movies." -- Provided by publisher
