Beverly Hills Dead

New York TimesThe Prince of Beverly Hills

Rick Barron, a former Beverly Hills police officer, has risen to head of production of Centurion Studios. Professionally powerful and happily married — to the beautiful actress Glenna Gleason — Rick’s at the top of his game. A sun-drenched world of style, glamour, and desire, the movie studios are a place where anyone with ambition can rise to fame and fortune — or scandal. But now tensions are running high in Hollywood, and the Red Scare is a sign of bad things to come. The witch hunt is spreading, and with it come deception, murder, and dirty dealings that even the picture-perfect veneer of Hollywood can’t hide.

Set in a time of suspicion and uncertainty, is Stuart Woods’s best novel yet — a fast-paced and sexy thriller full of the nail-biting twists and startling turns that his fans always expect.
