The Prince of Beverly Hills by Stuart Woods
Rick Barron, a sharp, capable detective on the Beverly Hills force, finds himself demoted after a run-in with a superior officer, but he soon lands a job other cops only dream about: the security detail for Centrion Pictures, one of the hottest studios in the midst of Hollywood's golden age of the late 1930s. As the protector of the studio's interests, Barron looks after the elite of filmdom's stars - among them Clete Barrow, a British leading man with a penchant for parties, and Glenna Gleason, a peach of a talent on the verge of superstardom. Rick's easy charm has society columnists dubbing him the Prince of Beverly Hills, the white knight of movie stars, until he stumbles across a murder cover-up and a blackmail scam that threaten the studio's business and may have origins with some unsavory characters. When two suspicious deaths begin to look like a double murder, and an attempt is made on someone who has become an intimate friend, Barron knows he is up against wise guys whose stakes are nothing less than do-or-die. A dicey war of nerves is on.Stuart Woods is the New York Times bestselling author of fifty books, including the Stone Barrington and Holly Barker series. He is a Georgia native who started his writing career in the advertising industry. Chiefs, his first novel, earned the Edgar Award in 1981. Woods lives in New York City, Florida, and Maine and is an ardent sailor and pilot.
