Publisher's Synopsis
From the Academy Award nominated screenwriter of Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Manchurian Candidate comes a breathtaking story of murder and mischief…
It's the story of a big-game hunter, fisherman, fighter, visitor to Cuba, drunk, and Nobel Prize-winning author, recently deceased of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, whose final unpublished manuscript could fetch a mint…
It's the story of a short, balding man with a high-pitched voice and a vicious wit, whose cocktail parties are the talk of the town, especially when a beautiful woman dies at one of them…
It's the story of Hollywood's sexiest starlet, who manages to conceal things even when she's wearing nothing but a towel…
…and it's the story of Dick Sherman, intrepid New York publisher, on the trail of the literary find of the century - and the killer who will stop at nothing to keep it from being found.
