Glamour Puss Was Buried Under a Pool in Hollywood….
Mac McGowan knew exactly where Aubrey St. George was buried, because he'd put the famous film star—known to all of Hollywood as Glamour Puss—there himself. It had all been a terrible accident, but Mac was sleeping with Aubrey's wife, Stella, and both he and Stella had panicked. So they'd covered up their deed, buried Aubrey under the pool Mac was building for the star and come up with a story the police would buy.
But He Was About to Walk Right Back Into Mac McGowan's Life.
Twenty years later, Mac is a different man—but a man haunted by the one act that shaped his life. Now divorced from Stella, he is nonetheless tied to the failed actress by the secret they share and the crime they got away with. His life is not his own.
Then the carefully constructed veneer of the past starts to crack. Someone else knows his and Stella's secret, and they are intent on blackmailing Mac to keep the truth hidden. When it's clear that Mac's life—and that of the sexy female P.I. he's hired to help him—is in danger, Mac begins to wonder if they only way to survive is to expose the past he's tried so hard to keep hidden.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kaiser, purveyor of wildly charismatic characters, is sure to score another hit with this quirky, fast-moving novel set in and around Los Angeles. Back in 1978, pool builder Mac McGowan and wannabe starlet Stella St. George accidentally killed Stella's husband, Aubrey, after he caught them in bed together. Afraid they wouldn't be able to prove that Aubrey's death was accidental, Mac covered up the misdeed by burying the body under the ground where the pool foundation would be poured the next day. Later, he and Stella married. Fast forwarding to the present, Mac is now a wealthy man but his status gives him little comfort. He and Stella have separated (they'll never divorce because spouses cannot testify against each other and their secret still binds them together even if love no longer does), his actor son hates him for not supporting his film career and someone is sending him ominous notes that say, "I know what you did on Friday, October 13, 1978." When Mac hires gorgeous private investigator Jade Morro to find out who's behind the notes, she uncovers a murderous brother-sister team out to whack Mac, as well as a sexy East Indian filmmaker's scheme to con Mac out of a few million, which is thwarted by Mac's son, who has devious plans of his own. Kaiser (Fruitcake; Payback) has created a fine suspense novel with plenty of twists and turns.
