The price tag on a heart and soul, or cost of success, for a hero in Hollywood. Robert Peterson, motivated by easy words and the success of one novel, is a Hollywood innocent. His first lessons are tough; pornographic motion pictures with a waiter's job to pay the lease seem the only option. Then he fits a robust, eccentric British manufacturer who, liking a Svengali role, offers Robert to his firm of wannabes. But there's a price.... Bryan Forbes' powerful novel is filled with great characters. The women in Robert's life are the wholly ambitious, alluring Amanda; the domesticated Tracey, with the morals of the alley feline; and the beautiful, clear Lauren, whom only the camera defines. Plus the men who educate him the lessons of life add a knife-throwing English director more histrionic than his celebrities; the providers, double-dealing in wives and clients; and the fellow scriptwriters with unusual secrets. Who could are in the middle of all of this scheming ambition and survive?
