Scriptwriter Alan Tate, down on his luck, meets Andree, a German producer, who invites him to "string a few words together" for a film. Alan's life begins to liven up, with girls on tap, a real-life bank robbery and police officers suspecting his play is some kind of master plan.
Found this book in the 99p store and it did sit on the shelf for a few months before I finally got round to reading it. Loved the book! It's not earth-shattering, but would make a great film.
