Sacred Monster / Donald E. Westlake

Jack Pine was born to be a Hollywood star. He has no morals, no scruples; he will not hesitate to do anything or love anyone if it might advance his career, get him the best roles, or project him ever more firmly into the spotlight, And success does come, beyond the imagination of Jack’s agents and co-stars- even beyond the hopes of his boyhood friend Buddy Pal, a man who carries with him the dark secrets of Jack’s past.
