<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From a "New York Times"-bestselling author comes the brilliant, breathtaking story about a Hollywood screenwriter whose overnight success brings about his biggest downfall. Suddenly a major power player, David Armitage begins to reinvent himself at breakneck speed. Enter multibillionaire film buff Philip Fleck, who proposes an unsavory collaboration to the screenwriter.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the #1 internationally bestselling author of <i>Five Days</i> and <i>The Blue Hour</i>, "a racy page-turner" (<i>London Daily Express</i>) about a Hollywood screenwriter whose overnight success brings about his biggest downfall.</b> <p/><i>I </i><i>always wanted to be rich. I know that probably sounds crass, but it's the truth. A true confession. </i>Like all would-be Hollywood screenwriters, David Armitage wants to be rich and famous. But for the past eleven years, he's tasted nothing but failure. Then, out of nowhere, big-time luck comes his way when one of his scripts is bought for television. Before you can say "overnight success," he's the new toast of Hollywood as the creator of a hit series. Suddenly a major player, he finds that he's reinventing himself at a great speed, especially when it comes to walking out on his wife and daughter for a young producer who worships only at the altar of ambition. <p/> But David's upward mobility takes a decidedly strange turn when a billionaire film buff named Philip Fleck barges into his life, proposing a very curious collaboration. David takes the bait and suddenly finds himself inadvertently entering into a Faustian pact and an express ride to the lower depths of the Hollywood jungle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As Kennedy continues to tackle the theme of upended lives, <i>Temptation</i> demonstrates a literary confidence that lifts his stories above much of the competition." --Ron Hogan, Shelf Awareness<br><br>"Kennedy is a skillful and very entertaining writer....
