The Bad Always Die Twice

Set amidst the bright lights, big egos, and Botoxed brows of Hollywood--part Jackie Collins, part James Ellroy. Nikki Harper, the daughter of a screen goddess, was raised in a highly dysfunctional home with a bunch of crazies, but she didn't follow in her mother's footsteps. Instead, she is a real estate agent wanting a quiet, comfortable life with a little love and happiness. Nikki always thought that dead meant dead--until film icon Rex March turns up freshly murdered in the bed of Nikki's best friend after being reported dead six months ago. Distrustful of law enforcement, Nikki feels compelled to solve the murder herself. Her acquaintances range from the pinnacle of Hollywood royalty to the bottom of Tinseltown's barrel, a full cast of lively characters. Rex has a gaping hole where his eye used to be, and Nikki knows a lot of people with motive to murder. The killer is getting ready for a repeat performance, so Nikki must act fast before her own her own screen fades to black.
