'I've been hustled by the best, Walsh, and this ancient mariner routine of yours is stale. Hire a press agent if you want publicity.' 'You're killing me.' Walsh stared out of the window, his face slack. 'You're killing me and you don't even know it.' An American thriller set in California in the world of Hollywood.

But as Jimmy Cage, a reporter on SLAP magazine discovers, he was set up as an act of revenge. Several deaths and threats to his own life later, Jimmy works out who set him up and why.
