Spencer Hardesty and Trey Banner find themselves back in Hollywood because Bobby Haley is anxious to buy the rights to one of Trey's books for a film. But it seems the cast and crew for the film, even the legal team, is being stalked by bad karma and bad blood. When one of them is almost killed and another is afraid he might have been wielding the weapon of choice, Spencer and Trey step it to help discover the truth with Spencer's friend Sam Needleman of the LAPD on the case. It's a cascade of the wrong choices being made all along the line, even Spencer and Trey doing a turnaround where their feelings about some of their new acquaintances are concerned. Who is the real bad guy here? And when they know the truth, how will it affect Trey's movie deal and Spencer's sense of self? From fade in to fade out, Spencer will have to what-if his way to the truth, whether he likes that truth or not. That's just how it happens in Screenplay, the nineteenth novel in the Spencer Hardesty series.
