Fifteen years ago, Oscar-winning actress Anna Mayhew had the world at her feet. Now she's pushing forty and the parts are drying up. Seriously depressed, Anna spends much of her time thinking up clever ways to kill herself. But when she discovers she has a crazed stalker, Anna decides she might as well let the stalker do it instead - and create enough headlines to propel her name into film immortality. What better way for a star to exit the stage? Enter Detective David Spandau, who's been hired by Anna's sister to protect her. But how do you keep alive a woman who'd prefer to be dead? Despite himself, Spandau finds himself falling for Anna when he accompanies her to the Cannes Film Festival. But her stalker is also in Cannes, intent on a bloody consummation of their relationship. And he in turn is followed by Special, an opera-loving LA pimp who's trying to recover the $80,000 of mob-owned money he stole from him. And so begins a deadly cat-and-mouse game ...

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken. Fifteen years ago, Anna Mayhew won an Oscar for Best Actress. Rich, famous, and beautiful, she had the world at her feet. Nearly forty years old, Anna is being offered these days only bland supporting roles, the kind she got her acting started with. So she spends much of her time thinking up clever and dangerous methods of self-destruction. But she may not have to kill herself after all. Anna discovers she has a stalker--Vincent, a crazed fan whose idea of love involves a straight razor and lots of blood. What better way to propel the name Anna Mayhew into film immortality? Enter David Spandau, ex-stuntman and private investigator, who has been hired by Anna's sister Pam to protect the star. But Anna doesn't want help--until she meets Spandau and decides she needs his intimate protection all the way to the Cannes Film Festival, where she's slated to be a judge. Spandau finds himself falling for Anna, as well. But there's the not so small problem of trying to keep a woman alive who'd prefer to be dead. To complicate matters, Vincent has followed Anna to Cannes intent on a bloody consummation of their relationship and he is being tracked by Special, an opera-loving L.A. pimp trying to recover the mob-owned money Vincent stole from him. So a deadly cat-and-mouse game that begins in the meat market of Hollywood culminates at the Roman orgy that is Cannes. Author Depp proves again to have the deadliest and most perceptive eye trained on the entertainment business today. With an enthralling, hair-raising final act, "Babylon Nights "is a twisted and sharply funny thrill ride that will delight Spandau fans and newcomers alike.
