No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A brash detective enters the Hollywood fast lane-jammed with the sort of
wealth, glamour, and blackmail it is famous for-in this new thriller by
the bestselling author of the Stone Barrington series.
Stuart Woods's new novel is a sexy, action-packed thriller in the tradition of his best. As the Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote about his last novel, Capital Crimes, "Woods knows how to deliver a taut, well-told tale . . . The last two paragraphs will make any reader gulp." In The Prince of Beverly Hills,
set in Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s, Woods introduces a new
character that possesses the kind of suave confidence, take-charge
manner, and clever wit-under-pressure that his fans will recognize and
love at first sight.
Rick Barron, a sharp, capable detective on
the Beverly Hills force, finds himself demoted after a run-in with his
captain, but soon lands a job on the security detail for Centurion
Pictures, one of the hottest studios. As the protector of the studio's
interests, Barron looks after the cream of the crop of filmdom's
stars-Clete Barrow, the British leading man with a penchant for parties;
and Glenna Gleason, a peach of a talent on the verge of superstardom.
Rick's easy charm has society columnists dubbing him "the Prince of
Beverly Hills," the white knight of movie stars, until he uncovers a
murder cover-up and a blackmail scam that threatens the studio's
business and may originate with the West Coast mob. When two suspicious
deaths begin to look like double-murder, and an attempt is made on
Glenna Gleason's life, Barron knows he is up against wise guys whose
stakes are do-or-die. A dicey war of nerves is on.
Set in the
era of high style and silver-screen romance, Woods's thoroughly
entertaining new crime novel shows us once again why he is a "master of
the genre" (Los Angeles Times).
