Set against the glittering and corrupt backdrop of 1930s Hollywood, Hollywood & LeVine is a hardboiled detective novel that follows wisecracking New York private eye Jack LeVine as he trades the mean streets of Manhattan for the sun-drenched glamour of Tinseltown. When LeVine is hired to track down a missing screenwriter, he uncovers a web of political intrigue, studio power plays, and Cold War paranoia lurking beneath the celluloid dream. Andrew Bergman — screenwriter, director, and novelist — crafts the story with sharp wit and an encyclopedic feel for the era, delivering a narrative that crackles with period authenticity and razor-sharp dialogue. A sequel to The Big Kiss-Off of 1944, this novel stands on its own as a masterclass in classic American noir, blending meticulous historical detail with irresistible comic energy.
