DOUBLE HEADER combines two of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg's highly-acclaimed novels -- MY GUN HAS BULLETS and DEAD SPACE -- complete and uncut into one, incredibly low-priced ebook edition.
MY GUN HAS BULLETS
When Beverly Hills Police Officer Charlie Willis pulls over a speeding Rolls Royce hell-bent for Neiman Marcus, he's surprised to see Esther Radcliffe, the geriatric star of the TV series "Miss Agatha," behind the wheel. He's even more surprised when she guns him down and keeps on driving. A few hours later, he wakes up in the intensive care unit...to find a William Morris agent, a network president, and the head of Pinnacle Studios standing at the foot of his bed. They have a proposal for him: in exchange for conveniently forgetting who shot him, they'll make him the star of his own series, "My Gun Has Bullets." So Charlie trades in his real badge for a fake one...and so begins an uproarious but deadly romp through the wonderful world of TV make-believe...with real bullets.
"It will make you cackle like a sitcom laugh track. Goldberg keeps the gags coming right up to the end."--Entertainment Weekly
"'My Gun Has Bullets' takes aim and hits the bull's eye of all good satire -- the truth," Howard Gordon, Executive Producer, 24
DEAD SPACE
Ex-cop Charlie Willis handles "special security" at Pinnacle Pictures. His job: to protect the studio and its stars, to stop scandals before they explode, to keep the peace in the land of make-believe. When Pinnacle revives the cult, 1960s TV series "Beyond the Beyond" as the cornerstone of a fourth network, two powerful forces fight for control of the show--a talent agency that uses blackmail, torture, and murder to keep its clients on the A-list, and a homicidal legion of rabid fans led by an insane actor who thinks he's in outer space.
"[It] reads like a modern-day Alice in Wonderland set against the venal world of the TV industry. It's wonderfully revealing and uncannily accurate," Vancouver Sun (Canada)
"This sharp roman a clef goes where no Hollywood satire has gone before--altering just enough facts to avoid the libel courts but still smacking of a certain je ne sais Trek. It's a stingingly funny novel." --Entertainment Weekly
"Goldberg once again bites the hand that feeds him, laughing all the while. Inspired silliness," Publishers Weekly
"As dark and twisted as anything Hammett or Chandler ever dreamed up [...] leaving Travis McGee in the dust." Kirkus Reviews
