Greed and Stuff Book

Penzler Pick, March 2001: Hollywood mysteries are a popular subgenre. While some writers (Stuart M. Kaminsky, George Baxt, and Loren D. Estleman, for example) have made it their practice to depict a bygone Tinseltown, back when legends were deserving of the name, Jay Russell prefers the present time, in all its pecking-order-mad, insincerity-reeking and trend-crazed lunacy. Welcome to the world of Marty Burns (hero of Celestial Dogs and Burning Bright), a former sitcom star turned private eye, now acting again in a souped-up version of his own life, the spoofy shamus series Burning Bright.

Product Description
It's the story of a man named Marty.

Once he was a very busy TV sitcom star.

Then he kind-of burned out and became a washed-up private eye.

Now Marty Burns is back on television, playing a P.I. and trying to make rehashed "Hawaii Five-O" scripts sound convincing.

While he's waiting to find out if his show is renewed (it's not doing well with the 18-34 year-olds), Marty stumbles across an enigma involving the classic noir film The Devil on Sunday, a shady remake, and a very real corpse.

Greed & Stuff is Jay Russell's strongest novel yet---a fast-moving, wise-cracking L.A. story peopled with fascinating characters, brimming with brio, and driven by a compelling mystery. This novel confirms Russell's standing as one of the hottest young voices in the mystery field.
