From the acclaimed co-creator of "Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law," and
"NYPD Blue," "Death by Hollywood "is a suspenseful, shocking, and
darkly comic crime novel about a screenwriter, a billionaire's
wife, a murder, and, of course, a cop.
""There used to be a writer by the name of Merle Miller, who wrote
that people in Hollywood are always touching you - not because they
like you, but because they want to see how soft you are before they
eat you alive"
"So begins this seductive and surprising novel by two-time Edgar
Award-winning writer Steven Bochco, in which a down-on-his-luck
screenwriter named Bobby Newman tries to turn a brutal murder into
his next movie payday.
One day, while spying on his Hollywood Hills neighbors through his
$4,000 Bushnell XR90 electronic telescope, Bobby sees a beautiful
woman making love to a handsome Latin actor named Ramon. When their
pillow talk takes a turn for the ugly, Bobby watches in horror as
the woman bludgeons her lover to death with his own acting trophy.
Deciding to write about it instead of reporting it to the cops,
Bobby insinuates himself into Detective Dennis Farentino's murder
investigation, forging an unusual friendship with the cop that
turns out to be more complex than either of them had bargained for.
Before long, Bobby has dragged the detective, his estranged wife,
his lover, and his agent into a Hollywood funhouse hall of mirrors,
where only the most manipulative player will survive.
Savvy, funny, sexy, and streetwise, "Death By Hollywood" is the
tale Steven Bochco couldn't tell on television. It is the work of
an ingenious storyteller, certain to enthrall readers from
beginning to end.
