Philip Marlow and Lew Archer would recognize a kindred spirit in Jimmy Gage, reporter for SLAP magazine, troublemaker by trade and inclination, and the hero of Robert Ferrigno’s sinuous new crime novel. While taking part in a Hollywood scavenger hunt, Jimmy meets Garret Walsh, a bad-boy movie maker in the truest sense: He’s just been released from prison after serving seven years for the murder of a teenaged girl. But Walsh claims he was framed and is writing a screenplay to prove it. He wants Jimmy to help him peddle it, sight unseen.

The next time Jimmy sees the director, he’s floating face-down in a koi pond and “The Most Dangerous Screenplay in Hollywood” has disappeared. Is Walsh a casualty of bad habits or has somebody crossed him off a list? And is Jimmy next? Combining nerve-shredding suspense and heat-seeking satire, Scavenger Hunt is an addictive read.

Industry Reviews

"Ferrigno can make you afraid, he can make you laugh, and he can keep you turning the pages." -The Washington Post "Captivating. . . . Momentum that doesn't let up until the last page. . . . Scavenger Hunt boasts a surprising, fast-paced plot and a host of memorable characters." -The Oregonian

"A nicely plotted tour through the dense fringes of Hollywood, with an occasional torque. . . . Ferrigno is a nimble pro. . . . Assured reading pleasure." --Houston Chronicle

"A brisk trot through SoCal's odd and entertaining landscape, informed by a mix of unpretentious smarts, muscular prose, and darkly funny observation." -Seattle Times
