From the acclaimed co-creator of Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, and NYPD Blue, Death by Hollywood is just a suspenseful, shocking, and darkly comic crime novel in regards to a screenwriter, a billionaire’s partner, a murder, and, obviously, a policeman. “There was previously a writer by the name of Merle Miller, who wrote that individuals in Hollywood are always touching you – not because they like you, but because they wish to observe how soft you're before they eat you alive”So starts this sexy and astonishing book by two-time Edgar Award-winning writer Steven Bochco, where a down-on-his-luck screenwriter called Bobby Newman attempts to change a brutal murder into his next film payday.One day, while spying on his Hollywood Hills neighbors through his $4,000 Bushnell XR90 digital telescope, Bobby sees an attractive woman having sex to a fine Latin actor called Ramon. Bobby watches in horror whilst the lady bludgeons her lover to death together with his own acting trophy, when their pillow talk requires a turn for the ugly.
