by Stuart Woods

Thanks to his friendship with a studio mogul, Rick Barron, a former Beverly Hills cop, has risen through the ranks to become head of production at Centurion Pictures. Right now, he’s wrapped his first feature film and he’s at the top of his game. But tensions are high in Hollywood, and when Rick’s friend Sidney Brooks, a successful New York screenwriter, receives a subpoena from the House Un-American Activities Committee, Rick isn’t surprised.  (Oh! I love a great suspense novel :) )
