Crime Thriller
Nick Savage was supposed to be the next sexy Hollywood heartthrob, until he turned up dead…
His personal manager, Dani Foxx, is a seductive former actress with spunk, guts and a take-no-prisoners attitude. She lives in the Woodland Hills section of the San Fernando Valley with her teenage daughter. They must survive and protect each other in the world’s most glamorous and sin-filled city. Then an unidentified body discovered under the Santa Monica pier is found to belong to the up-and-coming young actor.
Dani’s partner, the dashing and charismatic A.J. Tarentella, is the son of a mob boss, raised in a ruthless crime family. He now is the proud owner of the Tarantella Agency, a Private Investigation Company located in the heart of Beverly Hills. He used his father’s work ethic, connections and family ties to build his powerful business empire, and now he is always there to help those in need.
When another gorgeous nubile actress on the brink of getting her breakout role mysteriously vanishes as the body of a beautiful young girl is discovered in Runyon Canyon Park in the Hollywood Hills, Dani realizes this is no coincidence. Who is targeting young Hollywood stars? And more importantly, how can Dani stop them before the next body surfaces?
Together, A. J. and Dani find themselves tangled in a web of organized crime, Hollywood secrets, and a vengeful faded movie star with a lethal vendetta.

PRAISE:
“They say Hollywood is a dream factory, and having worked in the film business myself, I can say that can be true. But the reality behind the facade can sometimes be the stuff of nightmares. For every big break, there’s a thousand broken dreams. And for every actor hustling to land a role, there’s another who decides the compromises required just aren’t worth the damage it does to a person’s soul. This novel is about reality, the pain, the moral compromises, the crime, and the shattered lives that litter the streets behind the scenes. This book, though fiction has a lot of truth in it, and the novelist pulls no punches. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” – Amazon

“Kill her.” The irate and imposing male voice bellowed into the phone.
“Who?” The nervous - and not too bright - hitman swallowed hard and butted out his cigarette.
“Who do you think, moron?”
“Uhm…. I don’t….”
“Dani Foxx.”
“Oh, of course…Whatever you need, boss, I’m all over…”
“And I want it taken care of today, do you understand me?”
“I understand.”
“Don’t screw it up again, I want this problem solved.”
“Don’t worry, boss. The bitch is as good as dead.”
“She better be!”
“I’m on it, boss.” He reached for his shoulder holster and checked his gun.
“Then get on it. Now!” The angry boss slammed down the phone.
“Yes, boss.” The hitman pulled on his coat and dashed out of his North Hollywood apartment.
