A murder in Hollywood [sound recordings] / Michael Crichton writing as John Lange™.
A new Hollywood mystery thriller, originally written in 1973 by Crichton but never before published, that will keep you guessing until the very end. In the glitz and decadence of 1970s Hollywood, an era when sex and drugs were readily available on any movie set, the writer of the next Western blockbuster, Bloodrock, has just been found dead in his motel bathtub. Now publicist Harvey Jason is desperately trying to keep the project on track while the famed Harlow Perkins, a brilliant and ruthless investigator, begins to unravel the mystery and hunt the killer down. From scorching-hot desert locations to sleazy motel bars, the members of the cast and crew--each one with a very dark secret of their own--will send this case deeper and deeper into a maze of confusion and shadows until the shocking truth is revealed. Will the murderer be found? Or will the true identity of the killer turn out to be just another Hollywood illusion?
