Fatal Exit

They are players on the edge of terror, wild survivors of the sixties and of the Vietnam War wired for action in the film dream factories of the Hollywood hills at the start of the '90s. There's Kane, the burnt-out, coked-up vet who'll go to any length to finance his pictures...Walker, Kane's best friend and editor, who gets caught up in the director's dangerous scheme...Donovan, the three-hundred-pound producer with his jaws wired shut, who's bitten into the wrong kind of deal...and Maggie, Walker's former lover, who gets off on danger and who's found it in Mickey Jordan. He's an IRA assassin on a Hollywood spree, shopping for guns and rooting out traitors to the cause. They've set up a seemingly foolproof plot for profit and revenge, but in a town crawling with British Intelligence, federal agents, and sadistic freelancers, the operation might just explode in their faces. The deal's going down in Mexico-south of the border and over the edge-where it's every man for himself. It's a dirty war and there's only one way out... An international thriller written in the Robert Stone tradition by Michael Serrian, author of MIRAGE and EDGEPLAY.
