New York City. The late 1950s. Live TV. When a prime-time quiz show win could be the difference between poverty and prosperity…
And Peter Roland, making his way through the levels of difficulty, toward a half-mill win and stardom, is the perfect contestant for audience appeal and high ratings: Young, clean-cut, photogenic, smart. Especially in the wake of all the attention the producers and their team pour into burnishing that on-camera image. But his real life is proving as challenging...because he has some dark secrets that he doesn't want revealed.
Lust, desire, crime and betrayal in the emerging world of television in the 1950s and early 1960s are explored in these three lost, paperback noir classics.
