Synopsis

"Mystery-thriller author Thomas B. Sawyer just can't seem to keep a leash on his Manhattan P.I., Barney Moon. In this latest, hilarious installment of the Moon Series, A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, Moon finds himself back in Los Angeles and forced to take another whack at the whackos in one breakneck case of WEBIT? after another--Where Else But in Tinseltown? This is classic Sawyer suspense, dialogue, humor, and cinematic prose. With A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, Sawyer takes his rightful place among the master-of-suspense giants." --Andrew McAleer, author of the 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists and co-editor of Coast to Coast: Private Eyes from Sea to Shining Sea

Manhattan P.I. Barney Moon doesn't drive, and is stuck once again on the to-him alien planet known as Los Angeles. To Barney's relief, it's only one or two nights in Nutsville, a total no-brainer quickie. A simple fraud matter. Except - wouldn'tcha know? Barney quickly finds himself in the middle of several serious, whacko, very dangerous cases of WEBIT? (Where Else But In Tinseltown?).

In A MAJOR PRODUCTION!, New York Private-eye Barney Moon's latest reluctant-but-thankfully-very brief journey to his least-favorite city in the World quickly becomes complicated - and terrifyingly, uniquely extended. For starters, there's the pair of massively, desperately bored Homeland Security Agents who see a way out via Hollywood Success (almost their only areas of agreement), plus a crooked talent agent, an obsessed/ambitious ADA, an ineptly-planned, fake-terrorist plot - based on a stolen screenplay - to attack Los Angeles, harried LAPD Homicide Detectives, their already overflowing plates made maddeningly worse by Barney's latest intrusion(s) onto their turf - until he unexpectedly and weirdly makes them look like heroes, the murder on Sunset Boulevard of a mob boss's actress-wife, wannabes with outsized Movieland Dreams - and for Barney, a ticking clock - its deadline: his life.

With smart, gorgeous Melodie Seaver at the wheel - and on his case - Barney Moon, with his customary wit, tenacity, ingenuity, and hilarious attitudes about-and-reactions-to LA, manages to clean up all of it - in ways not possible or even thinkable anywhere else - barely in time to rescue himself from execution by the mob - before making his narrow escape back to Civilization (aka New York City).

Well-l-l, almost...
