A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist fallen from grace, Hardwick ends up in the Hollywood paparazzi pack, surviving from get to get, a half step ahead of the loan sharks, all the while trying to escape a world he loathes. Then Bonnie Quinn, the star of TV's Thanks for Sharing disappears just before taping the show's 100th episode - the trigger episode for syndication - after which the show can be sold for millions. The show's producer, who loathes Hardwick, hires him to track Bonnie down, and Hardwick thinks his own worst enemy just might be his ticket out of the paparazzi life. As Hardwick searches for the diva, he crosses paths with his ex-fiancée Meddy, a respected network journalist, whose disdain for what Hardwick has become quells his hope of reconciliation. But a suspicious death leads Hardwick to reteam with his old love on a dangerous and violent quest inside the closed sets, the kinky dressing rooms, and the lowest and highest levels of network television. Haunted by his past, Hardwick grapples with his curious attachment to the actress, as well as his desires, his deep-seated feelings for Meddy, and his hope for redemption, as he tries to expose the greatest reality show ever: the shocking truth behind what happened on the trigger episode.
