New York: TOR / Tom Doherty Associates, (1995) dj. Hardcover first edition - The first novel by the son of Bogart and Bacall, which introduces "tough-talking, down-on-his-luck gumshoe R. J. Hooker. After a lonely childhood spent in the shadow of his famous movie-star parents, Hooker abandons the glamour of Hollywood for the chill of New York. Reduced to working as a 'matrimonial detective,' R. J. hasn't seen his glam-queen mother for months, but when she's murdered in cold blood, he uses street smarts, intuition, and his often nefarious contacts - in both Tinseltown and the Big Apple - -to track down the killer."
