      About This Book

      Marshall Stone is an international superstar and charismatic member of Hollywood's elite. Abundantly blessed with charm, genius and wealth, the one gift he most desires – everlasting youth – seems within his grasp when an eminent writer begins the star's biography. But painful memories and suppressed scandals threaten to expose the fiction of his life. Meanwhile, the biographer is caught up in the big-daddy world where books are properties, films are investments, and ratings are rigged. And he's writing about a brilliant star who will do almost anything to remain untarnished.
