The Dream Merchants, hailed by the critics as "One of the very few honest novels about the movie business", dissects with intimate precision the glittering, amoral world of the movie moguls.
Here is the story of a man named Johnny Edge. His climb to the very top; the men he trampled underfoot, the women he sacrificed to his greedy ambition, and the celluloid empire he created out of other people's dreams.
The Dream Merchants and The Carpetbaggers form two parts of a planned trilogy focused on Hollywood. The third volume, yet to be written, will be entitled The Inheritors.
