Freddy is an ex-L.A. cop on the skids. He snuffed a cop killer in cold blood – and it got to him bad. Now he’s a sleazoid private eye, a shakedown artist, a pimp – and, most notably, the head strongarm goon for Confidential magazine. Welcome to the world of the malevolent monarch of the Hollywood underground – a tale of pervasive paranoia teeming with communist conspiracies, FBI finks, celebrity smut films and strange bedfellows.; 336 pages; Published: 02/06/2022
