      About This Book

      In this hilarious, laser-sharp comedy, the Emmy-winning writer and producer of Frasier sends up Hollywood pretense higher than it's ever been sent before.

      Accepting a screenwriting gig for a major Hollywood film (arranged by a less than reliable friend), a couple of down on their luck New York writers head cross country for a chance at silver screen success. Instead, their task is to help a fading film star complete her scandalous memoirs, which threaten to tarnish the tinsel on the rest of her acting family. Now, as blackmailers, male prostitutes, and plagiarists come out of the woodwork—along with an ill-advised videotaped sex act—our scribes also find themselves facing the wrath of an old enemy seeking revenge.

      "Nauseatingly, Joe Keenan has written his third hilarious novel in a row. I couldn't put him down. Or the book." —Eric Idle

      "A comic masterpiece that in intricacy of plotting and brilliance of language rivals the best of P. G. Wodehouse." —Publishers Weekly

      "The glamorous Hollywood novel gets a sharp send-up as a smart drawing-room comedy crossed liberally with farce. . . . The witty banter, zany plot twists, and colorful, likable characters (even the dastardly villains) provide a delight for fans of brainy comedy. If the ghost of Noel Coward isn't pleased, Frasier's is." —Booklist
