West of Sunset

Even from the grave, Hugo Arlington has the power to destroy people. His widow, Alice, is not the only person to be haunted by the celebrated writer's death and life, and gradually the truth about the dangerous games Hugo played comes to light - and the past comes catching up with the present.

Set amidst the gaudy wastes of Los Angeles, West of Sunset is a savage, funny and romantic story from a novelist at the height of his powers.
