Más información sobre el libro
Fiction. Jack had gone to Hollywood with one ambition: to become famous, a star, exactly how he didn't care.

After his wife, Karen, a hooker, is murdered and disemboweled, he meets Bella, a beautiful woman of immense wealth. In her he sees a chance to make his dreams come true. As it turn out, though, his nightmare is only beginning. ..".An elaborately drawn, surgically accurate Hollywood dystopia..."-Ellen Miller.
