Description

जेव्हा एलन लँग एल्विस कोलच्या ऑफिसमध्ये येते तेव्हा तिचा नवरा आणि मुलगा दोघेही बेपत्ता असतात. वरकरणी पाहता हे प्रकरण साधे वाटत असले तरी एल्विस कोल किंवा त्याचा ताकदवान सहकारी ज्यो पाईक यांना त्यात फार काही रोमांचक किंवा आव्हानात्मक वाटत नाही. पण हॉलिवूडच्या स्टुडिओपासून सुरू झालेले हे शोध प्रकरण त्यांना अमली पदार्थ आणि लैंगिकता आणि खुनापर्यंत घेऊन जाते. आता हे प्रकरण नुसतेच रोमांचकारी, आव्हानात्मक नसते तर घाणेरडेदेखील होते. कारण पोलिसांपासून ते गुंडांपर्यंत सर्वांनीच एलन आणि एल्विस यांच्याविरुद्ध युद्ध पुकारलेले असते. अशा आव्हानात्मक परिस्थितीतही एल्विस अखेरच्या दुव्यापर्यंत पोहचतोच, पण तो उत्कंठावर्धक प्रवास हे पुस्तक वाचूनच अनुभवता येईल. WHEN ELLEN LANG`S HUSBAND DISAPPEARS WITH THEIR SON, SHE HIRES ELVIS COLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN. A QUIET AND SEEMINGLY SUBMISSIVE WIFE, ELLEN CAN`T EVEN WRITE A CHECK WITHOUT HIM. ALL SHE WANTS IS TO GET HIM AND HER SON BACK—NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THE SEARCH FOR ELLEN`S ERRANT HUSBAND LEADS ELVIS INTO THE SEAMIER SIDE OF HOLLYWOOD. HE SOON LEARNS THAT MORT LANG IS A DOWN-ON-HIS-LUCK TALENT AGENT WHO ASSOCIATES WITH A SCHLOCKY MOVIE PRODUCER, AND THE LAST PLACE HE WAS SPOTTED WAS AT A PARTY THROWN BY A FAMOUS AND VERY WELL-CONNECTED EX-MATADOR. BUT NO ONE HAS SEEN HIM SINCE—INCLUDING HIS B-MOVIE GIRLFRIEND. AT THE SAME TIME THE POLICE FIND MORT IN HIS PARKED CAR WITH FOUR GUNSHOTS IN HIS CHEST —AND NO KID IN SIGHT—ELLEN DISAPPEARS. NOW NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS, AND THE HEAT IS ON. IT`S UP TO ELVIS COLE AND HIS PARTNER JOE PIKE TO FIND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SLEAZY HOLLYWOOD PLAYERS AND AN EX-MATADOR.
