A dangerous and sexy thriller that combines European expatriates with Hollywood lm lore, all taking place within the backdrop of the treacherous Nazi regime. Charles Dennis has the uncanny ability to set the time and place so acutely that you lose track of a modern day sensibility and just accept that you are back in 1938. Espionage and glamour make for a compelling story that Dennis adroitly navigates his audience through to a thrilling conclusion. Hollywood Raj was a really fun read. - Bryan Cranston, author of A Life in Parts My mother, Geraldine Fitzgerald, was an actress at Warner Brothers during the war and knew all of the so-called Hollywood Raj. Charles Dennis has evoked that time and that society in that place with insight and wit, and packed it with mystery and intrigue. - Michael Lindsay-Hogg, author of Luck and Circumstance Who knew that Los Angeles on the eve of World War Two was crawling with German, British, Italian and Japanese spies? Not to mention bi-sexual movie stars, hot-to-trot-cigarette girls and over-sexed gangsters. With his customary eÌ lan, Charles Dennis has created an ambience that combines the worlds of Graham Greene and Raymond Chandler. It's a page-turner from beginning to end with a great deal of humor along the way. Readers of Hollywood Raj will be pleased to know it's the rst of a proposed series. - Ed Begley Jr., author of Living Like Ed With the present resurgence of anti-Semitism and fascism in this country, Charles Dennis's novel, Hollywood Raj, reminds us of a time in the late 1930s when reactionary forces went unchecked and plunged the free world into war. Dennis has created a witty and wonderful tale of espionage set against the background of the British colony in Hollywood with appearances by such luminaries as C. Aubrey Smith, John Barrymore, Leslie Howard, Marlene Dietrich, Basil Rathbone, Leni Riefenstahl, David Niven, and a suspect Errol Flynn. I can't wait for the sequel! - Ed Asner, author of The Grouchy Historian
