Not Your Typical Hollywood Murder…
“Intensely absorbing mystery” – Pacific Book Review starred rating
Reid Garrett is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He’s also a serial blackmailer, extortionist, and murderer. His good looks, charm, and personality mask his sociopathic obsession to prey on Hollywood celebrities and other “A-listers.” Cameron Haines, a top talent agent with a dark secret is Reid’s agent. He’s also one of his victims. Cameron hires former CIA agent Alton Price to end Reid’s extortion and protect his secret. Alton has a reputation for making celebrity problems “go away” quietly and discreetly. He can hide your sins and avenge your enemies. That’s why he’s the best “fixer” in Hollywood.
Cameron’s problem is an otherwise easy assignment for Alton until he discovers that Reid is not acting alone. He has a secret network of powerful accomplices, making Reid more formidable than he thought. Alton’s “easy fix” assignment becomes deadly, and his ultimate plan to stop Reid and his collaborators unfolds as a true Hollywood thriller.
I Deceive You Believe
I don’t forgive sins. I make them go away.
My name is Alton Price. I specialize in hiding the sins of the rich and famous. And I avenge their enemies. That’s why I am the best “fixer” in Hollywood.
It starts as a simple assignment. I need to hide the death of a porn star who died while entertaining a Hollywood business tycoon. Simple stuff, at least for me. But then things take an ugly turn. Not just for me, but for the victims as well. I’m surprised to learn that another client of mine is involved. Covering up the sin will be the easy part, but then revenge and redemption become part of my assignment. That makes me uneasy because now the perfect outcome is impossible to guarantee if things get out of control. And in this case, they do. I am uncertain how it will end.
