It’s 1938 and the golden age of Hollywood.   

Gangsters, gumshoes, movie stars, Nazi spies and Hollywood’s elite create an evocative and fascinating page-turner of a novel in author Mitch Haynes’ Hollywood Agent Provocateur. 

It’s the glory days in Tinsel Town and the novel’s likeable protagonist, Thomas Moseley is a bar manager in an exclusive nightclub that caters to Hollywood’s elite.  Moseley has a nice little setup—rubbing elbows with the very rich and romancing his gorgeous secretary, Louise.  Life is good for Moseley with one little hitch—the mafia wants to muscle in on the illegal gambling establishment in his nightclub. 

There’s plenty of trouble brewing in Moseley’s life as he tries to sidestep the city’s crime lords, and if that’s not enough, he starts to have problems with Nazis trying to blackmail his clientele.  Moseley’s life is a rollercoaster with twists, turns, and sudden drops that take his breath away. 

A dirty secret is about to be uncovered and murder is its prelude.  What will Moseley discover and who can he trust?   

You’ll take a nostalgic step back in time to the days of gangsters, movie stars and corruption!Haynes’ fast paced novel reads like the ones of yesteryear—think William Powell and Myrna Loy.   Razor-sharp and caustic dialogue, colorful and lively characters and an intricate plotline set the stage for an incredibly satisfying, hard-to-put down read.
