Will the unlikely crime-solving partnership he forms with the investigating police detective keep him from the film noir ending he deserves?On the opposite coast, movie star Dawn Devayne – the hottest It Girl in Hollywood – gets a visit from a Navy sailor who says he knew her when she was just ordinary Estelle Anlic of San Diego. Now she’s a big star who’s put her past behind her. But secrets have a way of not staying buried…These two short novels, one hilarious and one heartbreaking, are two of the best works Westlake ever wrote.

Macy and Desperate Housewives’ Felicity Huffman.A book by this guy is cause for happiness — Stephen King
