Screenwriter Mitch Robertson must find an $18.7 million necklace after a wild Hollywood Awards after-party... with a cast of movie star suspects.
Mitch Robertson was a Hollywood screenwriter with a problem....
The Presidential Suite of the Hollywood Hoover Hotel looked like a bloody battlefield: bodies everywhere, furniture broken, red liquid dripping from the walls, dead soldiers littering the elegant Berber rug as clouds of smoke overhead bounced between two air conditioning vents.
Mitch Robertson stepped over the body of an ex-child star turned sex tape star turned pop star and entered the room, spotted a gun on the floor and picked it up... careful not to spill his coffee with three pumps of mocha syrup from Penny’s Coffee Shop. That coffee was gold, the only thing keeping him going in this dazed state of wakefulness. The gun felt light. Holding it, he saw the silhouette of an 80s action star sitting sideways on a tipped over chair. Motionless. Was he dead? Mitch was still hung over from the Awards Party the night before, and wondered whether this was all some sort of crazy nightmare that he would wake up from... but when he tripped over the bottomless Superhero, flaccid junk encased in a condom but still wearing his mask, and hit the edge of the sofa, gun skittering and coffee spilling, he realized that it was all very real.
What the hell had happened here?
The day after THROUGH THE RINGER Mitch gets a call from a Hollywood Studio head - An $18.7 million necklace on loan from Winstone Herald Jewelers (to the stars) to hot new new starlet Leslye "Jewel" Stone has gone missing after a wild Awards after party... the suspects are all Hollywood stars and ex-cast members from the TV series that Leslye starred in as a kid. Who stole the necklace? The aging action star that Leslye used to date? The cutest kid in Hollywood who now sells autographs for $25 a pop? The pop star who owes her fame to a sex tape? The Most handsome Man In Hollywood... who has a secret that would ruin his career? The ex-beauty queen? The double who does her own stunts? Or the Miami mobster who has a special connection to Leslye?
Screenwriter Mitch Robertson has 9 hours to solve the mystery and find the necklace before it must be returned to Winstone Herald Jewelers... and he's spilled his only cup of coffee... in this short novel (over 60,000 words) that takes you behind the scenes in Hollywood!
