Death of a Blue Movie Star Summary

Death of a Blue Movie Star by Jeffery Deaver

She calls herself Rune. She lives a downtown life and works running errands for a couple of documentary filmakers. At twenty-one, she's nowhere, and that's not where she wants to be. So, armed with a borrowed Betacam, she embarks on a freelance career of making movies herself. Unfortunately her first attempt - within the hallowed walls of the XXX Velvet Venus Theatre - was unexpectedly interesting. A bomb takes out half the cinema and a number of patrons. Rune, however, sees the possibilities and decides to track the culprit through the New York underworld - with her camera in tow, as well as Bomb Squad Detective Sam Healy. And thus begins her journey into the heart of the city of neon nightmares...

Death of a Blue Movie Star Reviews

Deaver is a terrific storyteller, and he takes the reader on a rollercaoster of suspense, violence and mystery ... Good entertainment Susanna Yager, Daily Telegraph Jeffery Deaver's fiendish new suspense thriller ... Amazing as it sounds, Deaver makes the intellectual puzzle the most thrilling part of his high-anxiety drama, which twists, turns and leaves us weak The New York Times Book Review Principal characters unusually vivid and sympathetic... Rapidly paced, wholly engrossing tale Publisher's Weekly A truly engrossing thriller. Psychological thriller writers do not come much better than Deaver. His cogent plotting, smooth characterisation and (best of all) psychological profiling of his villains is all nonpareil The Times Crime Supplement
