Description
When Pete Dyes, the beloved and Academy-Award winning actor, is shot and killed one night outside a famous director’s Brentwood home, and then America’s Sweetheart, movie actress Allison Rodgers, is gunned down in broad daylight in a public park, Hollywood holds its collective breath. Someone is killing the A-list actors of Hollywood and leaving a defaced DVD of one of their films at the crime scene. A deranged film critic? A disgruntled fan? A stalker, a rival, a psychopath? Who? Who is intent on depriving the movie-going public of their greatest national treasures, and why? Follow Detective Frank Callahan, a big, rough, blue-collar sort of guy who happens to be gay, as he and his fellow Irish Catholic sidekick, Barry, pursue the elusive DVD killer across the streets of Hollywood, through gay bars and cruising grounds, on a chase around Magic Mountain Amusement Park, Forest Lawn, and other L.A. landmarks. Witness Callahan’s about-face from a seeker of personal glory to team player, his running battle with a gay-bashing rival detective, the brutish Moose Koehler, and his on-again, off-again romance with his estranged lover, a fascinating character named Car. In the end, it’s good, old-fashioned police work with an assist from Barry’s Aunt Bee, a walking encyclopedia of film lore that leads to the killer’s downfall in an exciting climax reminiscent of Hollywood’s legendary gangster film, White Heat.
