* Mp3 CD Format *. In this hot and steamy mystery, Tennyson is an actor struggling to hang on to his career and redeem his sex-for-pay history that estranged him from his family---especially his father, a decorated LAPD captain who raised Tennyson to call him "sir." Now, in the wake of his father's sudden stroke, Tennyson has to save himself from taking the fall for a murder. In the process he discovers his hidden talents---the hard way.Publishers WeeklyActor Underwood (Sex and the City, etc.) teams up with accomplished authors Due and Barnes to produce a seamlessly entertaining novel. Tennyson Hardwick-semisuccessful actor, ex-gigolo and incipient sleuth-has the mixed fortune to reconnect with rap superstar Afrodite, a former client, for a night of more than just sex. The next day, she's found dead in a plastic bag with a split skull, and he's a suspect. To clear his name, Hardwick draws on all of his considerable assets: good looks and charm, a $2.5 million house inherited from a devoted client, martial arts skills (Barnes's stock in trade) and connections on both sides of the law. The authors have mixed up a cocktail of exotic elements-the sex for pay industry, the grind and glitz of Hollywood and the rap biz, a smart leavening of black film history-and topped it with a double shot of brutal murder. Handsome "Ten" Hardwick has not only a great backstory but a very promising future. 6-city author tour. (July)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
