Binding: Intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the glittering and corrupt backdrop of 1930s Hollywood, Hollywood \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956437528795,"sku":"2026100006225-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3663089d-8c92-4fef-b513-2ced0f4eea70.png?v=1783501052","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006225-secondhand-hollywood-levine","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
