Charmain Burns, Hollywood's sexiest, most talked-about TV actress, wills top at nothing to rise to the top of Hollywood's A-movie list. So when the cutting-edge tabloid, The National Revealer, begins to uncover shocking information about her scandalous past, and threatens to expose her violent, narcissistic present, she directs a powerful third party to physically intimidate the newspaper from running the story. But, in an odd and undesired twist, Charmain's vicious, brazen action triggers the accidental death of Revealer reporter Steve Bellini, and the raven-haired, voluptuous actress must move swiftly into cover-up mode, which only compounds her problems.Enter Cameron Tull, the Revealer's striking, intelligent star reporter, who's determined to flesh out the cause of his young colleague's murder. Also enter a mysterious stalker who holds the dark compulsion that Charmain is the key to survival for millions of people. And re-enter Charmain, who's obsessed with one driving ambition: She's competing against every star actress in Hollywood for the coveted title role in Medusa, a new, high-profile film about an actress who'd literally kill for a part. As Tull pursues the truth about the murder--and all paths seem to lead directly to Charmain-the stalker sets a diabolical trap for her that ends in an extraordinary, explosive climax.With episodes of sadistic worship and ritual sex, plus the brutal story of Charmain's turbulent Southern childhood, National Enquirer gossip guru Mike Walker offers readers an intense, shocking, thoroughly entertaining inside-Hollywood escape to a hot, exhilarating world--a novel that feeds curiosity like alcohol feeds a hangover.

Seller's Description:
As New. Advanced Reading Copy (ARC) 1st ed. Fine. Advance Reader's Copy. Trade Paperback. Fine. Publishers information sheets laid in. "Morris's first thriller is a brisk, if at times predictable, story of international financial mayhem. The unlikely heroes are Oliver Dawson, an obdurate low-level attorney with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division, and Peter Neil, a young man thrust into an atmosphere of greed and temptation at a hedge fund. After Peter's mother dies in a car accident, her former lover and family friend, attorney Jason Ayers, offers the unemployed Peter a job with one of his clients, a hedge fund called Stenman Partners. The company is an epicenter of corruption-reaping money from the drug trade, among other things-but Peter gets swept up in the fast money and glamour. Morris paints a detailed picture of currency trading and the movements of billions of dollars around the world, spelling out the dire consequences for barely solvent developing nations. There are consequences as well for the poor working saps who threaten to reveal Stenman Partners' unscrupulous activities: they end up dead, frustrating Oliver's investigation of the company. For Peter, the good times come to an end when the mysterious circumstances of his mother's death turn out to be linked to Stenman. Before she died, she left Peter documents that incriminated the hedge fund, and now top malefactors at Stenman are framing him for murder. Peter teams up with Oliver and Ayers's daughter, Kate, in a dangerous scheme to unveil the company's doings. Though Peter's rise and fall and resurrection are boilerplate, the fast-moving action and high-stakes financial intrigue should keep thriller fans entertained."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
