Ghosts and Phantoms Part I William Byron Hillman

Rollie Kemp had baggage. His parents were part of a major crime family, his ex-wife was lost on drugs and booze, he had an explosive temper, he had quit law school, had to drop out of the police academy, struggled to build an acting career and then, of all the people in Hollywood, he met Drake Fargo. Fargo was L. A.'s finest private eye. The studios hired him, actors hired him and other celebrities hoped he would protect them. He was the last person on Rollie's wannabe list of lifetime career ambitions, but work was work. Getting shot at wasn't on that list either, nor was there a way for him to abandon his ex-wife who keeps coming back into his life at all the wrong moments. A young actress is murdered and it turns out she's the only daughter of a New York crime family Godfather - a family Rollie has family tires with. Suddenly everything changes and Rollie and Drake's lives splash into the fast lane. Hired to protect two super stars that are suspected of killing the actress, Drake and Rollie get caught up in a web of lies, crime family's warfare, studio manipulations and a twenty-year old vendetta which can only end one way. If they survive their first case together, it will be remembered as the beginning of an astonishing and intensely exciting relationship.
