      Griffin Mill, a film executive with a dark past, seeks to escape his crumbling life and the Hollywood scene by pursuing a private island in the South Pacific. Financially strained, he plans to partner with billionaire Phil Ginsberg to fund his escape. As his personal life deteriorates—marked by impotence, a failing second marriage, and regrets about his first—Griffin faces the grim necessity of committing another murder to protect his ambitions. Tolkin crafts a sharp commentary on the excesses of power, wealth, and family in modern society.

      Griffin Mill is senior vice-president of production at a major Hollywood studio and he is in trouble. He has been getting postcards from a writer he rejected: 'You said you'd get back to me. You didn't. And now I'm going to kill you.' 'An entertaining novel brimming with intriguing and unsavoury characters. I enjoyed the scenes of the movie executives trying to out-manipulate one another.' Michael Douglas
