A. Night in Beverly Hills

the long version

Andrew J. Fenady has seen it all in Hollywood, and now he takes his insider's knowledge of Tinseltown and whips up a mystery novel that shows the best — and worst — the City of Angels has to offer. Alex Night is a private investigator/wanna-be author. Movie stars, hookers, con men, perverts, grifters, writers, producers, directors and assorted characters from the stately pleasure dome in Palm Desert to the seamy streets of Hollywood to the glitter of Rodeo Drive keep interrupting Alex's writing career — and life — as he walks a tenuous tightrope, balancing a gun and a typewriter through a maze of murder, mystery and suspense.
