I swore after the very dismal effort of Predator I would not read another ...

Great Noir Spin

Bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz steps away from his US Marshal Tim Rackley series for his latest novel, THE CRIME WRITER. Hurwitz says that Andrew Danner's story insisted on being told.
I have to admit, I was intrigued by the title and the premise. The title alone is provocative to me because ...

Beverly Hills Dead
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Very different style.....
+ WHO Would Like Beverley Hills Dead and Why? For Some Folks, It Would Be a Great Gift!
This book is totally different from others by Stuart Woods. It deals with McCarthyism in Hollywood and I wasn't sure I would like it. Woods, as always, puts together a great story with believable characters. The storyline, based on real events, flowed. another winner for Stuart Woods!
