THE MOVIE STAR AND THE MOVIE CRITIC -- HOW FAR WOULD THEY GO TO KEEP
THEIR SECRETS BURIED? DOUBLE FEATURE Contains two CLASSIC Donald E.
Westlake novellas, A Travesty and Ordo.
WHAT'S HIDDEN BEHIND THE SILVER SCREEN?
In New York City, a movie critic has just murdered his girlfriend -
well, one of his girlfriends (not to be confused with his wife). Will
the unlikely crime-solving partnership he forms with the investigating
police detective keep him from the film noir ending he deserves?
On the opposite coast, movie star Dawn Devayne - the hottest It Girl in
Hollywood - gets a visit from a Navy sailor who says he knew her when
she was just ordinary Estelle Anlic of San Diego. Now she's a big star
who's put her past behind her. But secrets have a way of not staying
buried...
These two short novels, one hilarious and one heartbreaking, are two of
the best works Westlake ever wrote. And fittingly, both became movies -
one starring Jack Ryan's Marie Josée Croze, and one starring Fargo's
William H. Macy and Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman.
A book by this guy is cause for happiness - Stephen King
