Summary
Tells the story of the marginal wannabes (the investors, producers, directors, scriptwriters, and actors) grabbing for a piece of the action as nothing but grim failure awaits them. They are spectacularly instanced in the dealings of Jon Emr, a legendary con man who was viciously murdered in broad daylight, just as his greatest scam seemed to be working.--From publisher description.
