Description

David Spandau, former stuntman and sometime cowboy, makes his living as a private investigator. His current assignment is Hollywood "it" boy, Bobby Dye, who's been receiving threatening letters. Spandau figures out Bobby's facing another threat—one that could ruin his career just as it's getting started. Loser's Town is gritty noir fiction, but also a Hollywood-insider novel written by someone who knows the town and the industry intimately.
