Longtime character actor Clive Rosengren (Cheers, Seinfeld, Ed Wood) pens a sprightly tale of Hollywood sex and homicide in Murder Unscripted.

No one is going to mistake part-time actor, part-time Hollywood sleuth Eddie Collins for a movie star. While shooting a television commercial for Chubby’s Chicken, Eddie is almost relieved when he gets a call from a motion-picture bonding company on the hook for an uncompleted film whose female lead has died. That would be bad enough, but things get worse when Eddie finds out that the dead actress is his ex-wife—and her death looks like murder.

When a second body turns up, Eddie scrambles to expose one of Tinseltown’s dirty little secrets: some people will do anything to sleep with a star. If Eddie isn’t careful, his next “exit, stage left” will be permanent.
