About This Book

The start of a thrilling and glamourous Hollywood series from million-copy bestselling author Shari Low and Strictly Come Dancing's Ross King ✨

When we bury our secrets, they always come back to haunt us...

Their rise was meteoric.
Only a few years before, they had been three friends from Glasgow, just trying to survive tough lives of danger and dysfunction.

But on one Hollywood evening in 1993, they were on the world's biggest stage, accepting their Oscar in front of the watching world.

That night was the beginning of their careers. But it was also the end of their friendship.

Over the next twenty years, Mirren McLean would become one of the most powerful writers in the movie industry.

Zander Leith would break box-office records as cinema's most in-demand action hero.

And Davie Johnson would rake in millions as producer of some of the biggest shows on TV.
For two decades they didn't speak, driven apart by a horrific secret.
Until now…

Their past is coming back to bite them, and they have to decide whether to run, hide, or fight.

Because when you rise to the top, there's always someone who wants to see you fall.

An exciting new glam thriller for the fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Liane Moriarty and Jo Spain

Previously published in the UK as TAKING HOLLYWOOD by Shari King.
