Beverly Hills Dead by Stuart Woods (2008, Trade Paperback)

Very good condition - small check mark on first page Stuart Woods returns with the sequel to The Prince of Beverly Hills --a page-turning novel of murder, political intrigue, and betrayal set in 1940s Hollywood, the era of the "Red Scare," when almost anyone could be suspect... Rick Barron, a former Beverly Hills cop, has risen to the head of production of Centurion pictures, and he's at the top of his game. But tensions are high in Hollywood, and when Rick's friend Sidney Brooks, a successful screenwriter, receives a subpoena from the House Un-American Activities Committee, Rick isn't surprised. The witch hunt is spreading, and those under investigation are Rick's closest friends--even his wife, the glamorous starlet Glenna Gleason.
