He hangs out at the Malibu Palms Apartments and works at the nearby marina. He doesn't like God, doesn't like cops, and he doesn't like being \"a person of interest\" when a beautiful neighbor drowns. She was Cindy Korbell, a struggling actress on the verge of stardom. In trying to track down her murderer, Charlie is sucked into a land scam, corrupt politics, and the sleazy world of Hollywood players and posers. He gets himself targeted for killing. Child's play compared to dealing with Patricia Diaz, a deliciously desirable, zealously devout Catholic. A bad boy might attract her, but only a good man can win her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScreenwriter Jeff Andrus collaborated on \u003ci\u003eSeparated By Murder\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAs Summers Die\u003c\/i\u003e and the French-American co-production, \u003ci\u003eThe Fatal Image\u003c\/i\u003e.
