FROM THE PUBLISHER

"Edward D. Hoch shows how a performance artist working as a human roulette ball fares when a killer puts his "Monet on the Red."" "A veteran female newscaster tries to take out the young, perky competition before she loses her own precious time slot in Elaine Viets "Blonde Moment."" "A lover's tryst goes horribly wrong - and the truth behind what happened is more shocking than any screenwriter's dream - in David Bart's "Just Another Hollywood Ending."" These and seventeen other all-new short stories of movies, music, murder, and mayhem by today's talents will take you from vaudeville to Vegas, and make it clear that in the world of entertainment. If you want to make it, you may have to step on some people - or over their dead bodies.
