This hilarious novel, based on an actual event, tells of fifty-five of Hollywood’s highest awards — the Arthurs — that were stolen, setting in motion the sexy kind of crazy only turn-of-the-millennium Los Angeles can provide. Intrigue, murder, comedy, romance, sex, celebrity dish, and ultimately redemption play out for characters from Skid Row to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, including all the desperate wannabes in between. In a town where people would happily kill anyone for a part, what would they do for a gilded Arthur statuette?
