Acclaimed screenwriter Marshall Karp has been lauded for his Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs mysteries. Picking
up where their first adventure, The Rabbit Factory, left off, this duo of bickering Hollywood detectives investigates
another high-profile case.
After solving the Familyland murders, Lomax and Biggs are approached by world-famous movie producer Barry
Gerber to make a film of their story. Bitten by the movie-star bug, the two men know this could mean big money. Just
before the deal can be finalized, however, Gerber turns up dead—all the blood drained from his body. The number
one suspect is a maverick star actor known for his temper, excessive lifestyle, and a previous quarrel with Gerber. But
when he is abducted, the killer's deadly designs take on a whole new dimension.
Fans of Hollywood scandals will love the insider's feel of Karp's intriguing mystery. Narrators Tom Stechschulte
and James Jenner shine in their portrayal of the witty Lomax and Biggs.

      Karp's second comic police thriller (after 2006's The Rabbit Factory
      ), set in the glitzy world of Hollywood moguls and wannabes, is an uneven blend of gallows humor and gore. When mega-producer Barry Gerber turns up drained of blood in a trash can, LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs, who had been hoping to enter a deal with the victim for a movie adaptation of one of their high-profile cases, are assigned to investigate. Their workload doubles when the A-list star of Gerber's last blockbuster, actor Damian Hedge, is abducted, apparently by the same person responsible for the producer's murder. Karp intersperses Lomax's snappy first-person narration with scenes from the criminal's perspective, eliminating most of the mystery and making the motive for the crimes obvious early on. Though brisk and cynical, this depiction of Tinseltown falls short of the standard set by Elmore Leonard's Get Shorty
      .
