Bel-Air Dead - Stuart Woods
Book Cover: "In the Bel-Air district of Los Angeles, one Of America's wealthiest and most star-infested communities, Stone Barrington comes face-to-face with his past...
A beautiful Bel-Air widow, already one of the wealthiest women in America, needs Stone's help to become even more cash-rich. At stake is the sale of her investment in - and the resulting dissolution of - Hollywood's world-famous Centurion Studios. Stone is no stranger to the stylish and lucrative world of Centurion...and he has more than a passing acquaintace with the lady herself.
But when he arrives in Bel-Air to finalize the sale, the tranquility of that famous neighborhood turns out to be no more than a facade. One of L.A.'s most rapacious power brokers has Centurion and its unique real estate in his sights, and he will not be denied. Stone finds himself dragged into a surprisingly complex and high-stakes game, the kind only the truly rich and dangerously ambitious can play...and survive."
A quick read, because is was so predictable. Woods writes like Danielle Steele or Nora Roberts. This was my first read of this author and while he is proclaimed to be a top notch author, I don't plan to put him on my "to read" list. I didn't like or dislike the book or characters.

A predicable book is like soggy toast.
