Resumen del Editor

In this shocking thriller set in Baja California, a movie cast and crew on location becomes the setting for murder and depravity.

The Director: Visionary and perverse, he coaxes and prods his cast and crew as he tries to bend them to his will in the pursuit of his surrealistic masterpiece. The Actress: Ravishing beautiful, she despises the filmmaker almost as much as she fears him. The Cinematographer: He clashes with the Director’s spontaneous and unorthodox methods, and denies his own clouded past with the Actress. The Actor: A glorious hunk of manhood, he’ll do anything for and with anybody, as long as sex, alcohol, or drugs are involved.... As the cameras roll on a desolate stretch of Mexican coast, and the gruesomely mutilated body of a crew member is found, a terrifying scenario unfolds - and art becomes a matter of life and death.

Ron Faust is the author of 14 previous thrillers. He has been praised for his "rare and remarkable talent" (Los Angeles Times), and several of his books have been optioned for films. Before he began writing, he played professional baseball and worked at newspapers in Colorado Springs, San Diego, and Key West.

Choppy

Unlike many of Faust’s other works, the story line was rather stream of consciousness and lacked a cohesive progression until the final third of the story.

movie making

the book starts off slow. I had to stick with it before making all the connections. then towards the final two hours, the action gets moving and the parts start tieing toether for a not bad ending.

Not what I expected!

Some serious overtones here...a real thinker of a book... I can't decide what was happening to the characters and didn't expect the books KS ending. A very different style for Mr Faust!

junk mail.

I could only listen to ten chapters. total senseless drivvel. no plot. no style no class.

I'm glad that Mr Faust improved.

I'm just glad that the story was a short one. I would describe it as incoherent at best.

Adjust narration speed if necessary

Pretty sure why numerous books are uploaded at slow speeds, and hopefully the narrators will review them. I've returned numerous books because of narrator but honestly can't remember how many due to slowness...UNTIL it was so obvious in one of Faust's books last week [I have thousands of Audible books] that I tried this method and narrator was awesome.

Really slow getting somewhere

Really drags. Even increase speed to 3.5 x and still couldn't get through the whole book. Don't know how it ends and don't care.

Not like his Caribbean novels

A bit disappointing... couldn't finish this one. May be for other readers who appreciate this genre, just not for me.
His Caribbean reads .. could fo back for mofe of these indefinitely though.

Frustrating book.

Love the narrator but hated the book. I usually like this author but not this time . Stupid story, almost didn't finish.
