"This novel rips the lid off modern Hollywood in presenting the day-to-day drama of the making of a television series. It is a story that no one has told before [oh, please...] about the secrets of success and failure of the men and women who sell their souls daily to get a show in the top ten. Mike McLeod, the brawling, drinking, macho ex-star of a TV Western series, is washed up in Hollywood until he meets Honey Holly, television's biggest star. He rips off her nice-girl-next-door facade and, manipulating her long-buried sexual needs, makes her put him on the air in his own series." The author was a veteran TV producer-director. .
