Marshall Karp is up there with Carl Hiassen, Donald Westlake and Janet Evanovich- smart, fact-based, clever, and really, really funny.-Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author, Power Play

Karp's Tinseltown kiss-off reads like a solid Hollywood buddy-cop thriller. -Entertainment Weekly

It's a bloodthirsty town, Hollywood is. No matter how popular you are, there's always someone who would be happier if you were dead. Marshall Karp, coauthor with James Patterson of the #1 bestselling NYPD Red series, sets this Lomax and Biggs thriller right smack in the middle of Hollywood's most deadly game: moviemaking.

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.

Let master storyteller Marshall Karp (a Hollywood veteran himself) take you on a ride-along in a fast-paced, razor-sharp, humor-filled adventure you'll find impossible to put down. Once your adrenaline is pumping and your appetite whetted, don't hesitate to move onto the rest of the fast-paced Lomax and Biggs mystery series: The Rabbit Factory; Flipping Out; Cut, Paste, Kill; and Terminal.
