About the Book

Hollywood, 1947. Jack Shannon, a former actor whose promising career was interrupted by the war and ended by a facial scar sustained in combat, is now a studio publicist. He jokes that the only thing he knows about publicity is how to suppress it, but that, in fact, is his real job. He's a fixer who babysits the studio's stars and covers up their bad behavior. Everything changes for Jack when Savannah Stevens enters his life. A sexpot star in the mold of Jean Harlow and the studio's biggest box-office draw, she's a deeply troubled young woman given to emotional breakdowns, unexplained absences from the set, and time-devouring delays occasioned by her paralyzing insecurities and her insistence on dozens of takes. Jack's job is to stay with her 24/7, deliver her to the set on time each day, and make sure she completes her current picture, a picture on which the future of the studio depends. All goes well until Savannah disappears, and Jack is assigned the task of finding her ... without revealing to anyone, including the police, that she is missing.

Review :
"An impressively original, solidly written, hard-boiled Hollywood noir-style novel...a riveting and inherently absorbing read from cover to cover." -- "Midwest Book Review" "If Raymond Chandler had turned a steely eye to the notorious Hollywood casting couch, the result might well be called Someone to Watch Over Me." -- "Malcolm Brooks, author of Painted Horses" "Reading Someone to Watch Over Me is like watching a classic 1940s black-and-white noir detective movie like The Big Sleep or The Maltese Falcon...Too bad Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum won't be available if they make a movie out of this excellent tough-guy detective novel." -- "Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author" "There was Sam Spade, Lew Archer, Travis McGee. Now there is Jack Shannon." -- "Jameson Parker, author of Dancing with the Dead"
