Hard to say this because all his other novels have been so good, but this one has the edge for me. A wonderful lightness of touch and yet thriller-like suspense, it’s a real page turner that, to women will provide insights into men, and to men, just might enable them to understand the quirks and nuances of strong women.

Like all would-be Hollywood screenwriters, David Armitage wants to be rich and famous. But for the past eleven years, he’s tasted nothing but failure. Then, out of nowhere, big-time luck comes his way when one of his scripts is bought for television - and before you can say ‘overnight success’, he’s the new toast of Hollywood as the creator of a hit series. Suddenly a ‘player’ in Tinsel Town, he finds that he's reinventing himself at great speed - especially when it comes to walking out on his wife and daughter for a young producer who worships only at the altar of ambition.
But David’s upward mobility takes a decidedly strange turn when a billionaire film buff named Philip Fleck barges into his life, proposing a very curious collaboration. David takes the bait, and suddenly finds himself inadvertently entering into a Faustian Pact, and an express ride to the lower depths of the Hollywood jungle.
