BEST MURDER OF THE YEAR by JON P. BLOCH
|
SummaryRick Domino is one of the most sought after men in
Hollywood but he's not an actor, director or even a film
producer. He's a popular gossip columnist covering the
Hollywood scene and a word from him can be very
influential. Normally, Rick loves his job and the scene
itself but tonight it's different. Tonight he's hosting a
live telecast of the Academy Awards and his secret lover,
young heart-throb Shane Kirk, is one of the nominees for
Best Actor. But there has been trouble brewing between the
two, not helped by the fact that publicly Shane portrays
himself as "straight", even bringing an actress as a date
to the awards ceremony, and Rick can hardly focus on the
task at hand. The ceremony itself goes relatively smoothly until Shane
actually wins the award for Best Actor and is nowhere to be
found. Surprised and worried, Rick goes back stage to look
for Shane and lured by an open access door and a hunch,
checks the back alley. He does indeed find Shane but Rick
also finds himself in perhaps the most deadly situation in
his life. By the time the police arrive, they find Rick
standing over a corpse, holding a gun and looking not-so-
innocent. The truth of what happened in that dark alley,
and who was responsible, is tightly intertwined with some
of the darkest of Hollywood's secrets and if anyone knows
about ferreting out secrets, it's Rick Domino.
