{"description": "It's a bloodthirsty town, Hollywood. No matter how popular you are, there's always someone who'd be happier if you were dead. And in some cases, you can be such a bastard, everyone would be happier if you were dead. Barry Gerber, one of the most hated men in Hollywood, is a no-show for a red carpet event. The next morning he turns up dead, killed in such a bizarre way that neither Detectives Mike Lomax nor Terry Biggs nor anyone in Forensics has ever seen anything like it before. Two days later, the prime suspect - another despised show-business bad boy - is found murdered in the same sadistic manner. The list of suspects then becomes as long as the credits in a summer blockbuster. Everyone hated the murdered men. Biggs jokes that this could be an elaborate public service effort to make Hollywood a better place to live and work. But he and Lomax soon find that all jokes are off as they wade through a daunting number of leads to uncover who will be the next victim. What they stumble upon is a motive far more primal than they had ever imagined. Fast-paced, razor-sharp, and intensely funny, Bloodthirsty reunites Lomax and Biggs - the mystery genre's new dynamic duo.", "title": "Bloodthirsty", "covers": [877371], "subject_places": ["Los Angeles (Calif.)", "California", "Los Angeles"], "subjects": ["Fiction", "Mystery & Detective - Police Procedural", "Mystery", "detectives", "Gangs", "Suspense", "Motion picture industry", "Actors", "Actresses", "A Lomax and Biggs Mystery", "Police", "Mike Lomax (Fictitious character)", "Terry Biggs (Fictitious character)"], "key": "/works/OL5656544W", "authors": [{"author": {"key": "/authors/OL1372814A"}, "type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}}], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "subject_times": ["Contemporary", "2007"], "subject_people": ["Mike Lomax", "Terry Biggs"], "latest_revision": 12, "revision": 12, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T10:57:49.659661"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-08-31T11:08:01.570518"}}
