Item description from seller

INVENTORY = B >>> Stated: "First Printing"; First Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket; 189-Pages; 322-Grams; ** Idea for book credited to Richard Matheson. ** Goodreads: With the motion picture industry in crisis, things were so tough for independent director Steve Leander that he was put to it to maintain his mortgage, his swimming pool and his attractive young wife. So, reluctantly, he agreed to direct a picture for Harry Bergdahl, a producer who never lost money on his pix but never got any Oscars either. Then came this insurance investigator Tomkevic with some sinister inquiries about an insurance fix on Bergdahl's lead, Hart Jameson. Soon after, Jameson, a Marlon Brando type, crashed over a cliff on the Coast Highway in his Jaguar, and was killed. Steve was the man who knew too much. He was hounded by a private eye, mistrusted by his wife, stymied by Bergdahl's slippery financing, and stricken by his own indiscretions. One of the latter, a torrid beauty named Pat Cullum, was fatally stabbed, after some strange revelations about the dead star. As events developed, Leander was on an even hotter spot with the police breathing down his neck; his position made riskier because of others he felt in conscience he must protect. How he managed to clear himself and finger the real murderer makes a story true to today's Hollywood conditions. It's tough, but the heart is in the right place. ** Book: EX-LIBRARY Copy, Library Cards on both sides of front end-page, Paper-Pulls on inside front and inside Back covers, spine slant; thus GOOD. ** Dust Jacket: Corner Clipped at top of inside Flap, creasing; staining to spine;Very Good. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…
