About the Author:
Robert J. Randisi, author of more than a dozen mystery novels, is also the editor of more than twenty-five anthologies, including Deadly Allies (Bantam); Lethal Ladies (Berkley); and First Cases (Signet). He is the founder of the Private Eye Writers of America, the creator of the Shamus Award, and co-founder of Mystery Scene Magazine. He lives in Missouri.
From Booklist:
As veteran crime writer Randisi notes in his introduction, when some people think of Hollywood, they think fame, glamour, and Disneyland. Others think of the Black Dahlia, O. J., and Fatty Arbuckle--the dark side of the Tinseltown dream. Among the authors represented in this collection of original short stories with a Hollywood theme are marquee names Michael Connelly, Max Allan Collins, Bill Pronzini, and Stuart Kaminsky. Among the best of the 14 selections are Collins' "Murderlized," featuring Moe Howard of Three Stooges fame investigating the death of his mentor, and Connelly's "Suicide Run," in which Harry Bosch extracts justice for a series of murdered starlets. Veteran television screenwriter Lee Goldberg has some fun with a small screen legend in "Jack Webb's Star," and Dick Lochte brings back private investigator Leo Bloodworth--still listening to Dinah Shore but on an MP3 player--in a mystery that ends with a devilish poke at the quality of modern screenwriting. This consistently high-quality collection offers readers a nice mix of big names and lesser-knowns who deserve larger audiences. Wes Lukowsky
