The Last Review

“Takes the P.I. approach beyond traditional routes while including all the trappings of a solid investigative piece.” —Midwest Book ReviewsCoffee addict Polo Levington is trapped.

With two aging stars returning to the spotlight after a past fatal tragedy, this soon becomes a film like no other. The conflicts and disputes are quick in coming—movie egos in their purest form, harmless, amidst the props and make-up…Until someone in the cast falls dead for real, that is.The behind-the-scenes exclusive soon turns into a crime scene investigation and Polo Levington into an unwitting lead. He has a natural talent to notice all kinds of details others can’t. He knows that the murderous intent still plagues the fragile production, and that the deadly curtain has only risen. But he’s led his life running away from a childhood trauma—away from that deep red world of suspicions, deceit, and death. Could this be the moment to finally face his fears and take the center stage?But who’s lying? Who can he trust? Every wrong decision brings him closer to his own ghosts… and closer to a clever murderer, determined to leave the truth dying on the editing room floor. No matter who gets cut off.Readers are saying:“Exceptionally well done and hard to put down.”“Recently a lot of mystery books have seemed to be a formula.
