HOLLYWOOD PLAYS FOR KEEPS reveals the raw, real
underbelly of the acting world, a contrary world where the smaller the stakes
the more vicious the competition. In this novel punctuated with dark humor and
provocative satire, has-beens and wannabes mingle with stars under the
spotlights, where sex is currency and murder lurks in the wings. The "play's the thing" as actors seek
to claw their way from the seedy Valentine Theatre to the big screen. With
opening night looming and careers at stake, the multiple rich characters stop
at nothing in fighting for their 15 minutes of fame.
