Mulholland Studio Books

NORTH OF MULHOLLAND, A rollercoaster of a read that rivals Sidney Sheldon and Harold Robbins in its emotional intensity. A focused work of love, greed, power, lust, and money in today’s entertainment industry. Tightly written, the characters come alive, each a story within a story. Pettit paints a masterpiece filled with glitz and glamor, of ruthlessness and cruelty, of love and passion. The suspense builds to a nerve shattering unexpected ending that will leave you breathless. Dan West plays every trick he knows to keep Mulholland Studios going long enough to finish a picture that could bring him back from the brink of bankruptcy. As he fights for survival, he is being double-crossed and betrayed from within his own ranks. His financial consultant, his longtime friend, is siphoning money off the top of every penny that comes in to feed his gambling, partying, and blow habit. Dan’s wife is killed in a tragic auto accident in Cabo San Lucas with another man only to find out that it wasn’t an accident at all but a devious plot to take the Studio away from him. The sharks come out of the water when the word spreads that Dan West is going down for the count. The Vegas mob want control of the Studio to launder money through, Chicago entrepreneurs want the film properties for investments, peers want him destroyed out of jealousy and greed. To come out alive he has to fight back using the same tactics as his opponents. Emotionally sapped, he comes back with a vengeance. Sure to be a major International hit.
