About this title

From the Back Cover:

LOVE AND GREED...SEX AND BETRAYAL...VIOLENCE AND LIES. THIS IS NO HOLLYWOOD MOVIE. THIS IS HOLLYWOOD.

Your guide -- Heyward Hoon, ambitious young screenwriter and floating matchmaker. Armed with only his little black book, he has a brand-new plan to conquer the fabulous hell called Hollywood. His ticket -- coolness-deprived studio megaboss Sydney Swinburne. The deal -- Heyward gives Sydney access to the town's most beautiful women, and Sydney opens for Heyward the dream factory's glittering industry door. There's one complication. Her name is Teal. And she turns a white-hot spotlight on both men's souls.

Deep from the inside comes a bravura portrait of Hollywood's light and dark sides that may be the most scathing, most moving, most entertaining novel you'll read this year.
