From award-winning, Los Angeles Times bestselling author Jervey
Tervalon comes a highly clever, twisting tale of suspense involving
drugs, perverse sex, and poisonous celebrity worship, in which a man
trying to rebuild his life becomes entangled in dangerous and deadly
circumstances.
Once upon a time, Gibson was a successful chef with a popular restaurant
and a beautiful loving wife. He was also a drug addict with a habit that
nearly destroyed him.
Fresh out of rehab, he's now using his skills to feed his fellow halfway
house residents budget gourmet meals--a talent that attracts two shady
women who offer him a job cooking for a music superstar named Monster.
Though Gibson doesn't have a good feeling about his seeming good
fortune, he needs a job.
Arriving on Monster's compound, Gibson senses that trouble is still on
his tail. First, he's asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. Then he
meets the compound's gardener, who warns him not to go outside at
night--and tells him that to stay alive he must see nothing, hear
nothing, say nothing.
It is advice that proves all too true when Gibson discovers a dead body
near his bungalow a few nights later. Suddenly, all hell is breaking
loose . . . and Gibson is at the center. Now he has to figure out how to
escape this terrifying nightmare . . . and whether he can.
