King of Hollywood (Paperback)

Charismatic, volatile, mysterious -- Danny Spain was a Hollywood enigma. A rebellious child whose aggressive intensity later made him a striking screen presence, he ruthlessly pursued success and soon captured an Academy Award, but could never win that most elusive of trophies -- love.

Danny's best friend and sometime lover, Benedict, devotes himself to finding out the truth about Danny's life -- and death, following his story from his humble birth in the Midwest in 1959 to his violent murder at the hands of a young male hustler forty years later.
