Yawn...
For fans of Stuart Woods, be warned that this isn't an action adventure.
The first third of the book is a rather interesting look inside a Hollywood studio after World War II.
The second third deals mainly with the Communist "witch-hunts" that resulted in blacklists and wrecked careers.
True, there's a murder late in the book, but the ending is classic Deus ex Machina, with no real suspense or tension.
As social commentary, it's a fair book.
As a suspense or action novel, it fails. Woods has written many books that are much better.
