Vein of Violence 

Brock 'the Rock’ Callahan might just be in over his head. Someone’s killed one of the last of Hollywood’s grand dames, and Callahan’s hired to find out who and why.The case takes Callahan right into the celluloid heart of the movie business. He’s surrounded by fools, thieves, has-beens, and never-weres. It’s a high-rent shark tank that makes his career on the L.A. Rams defensive line look like a cakewalk. But Callahan’s determined to find out who snuffed the old doll, even if it means rattling a few of those gilded cages in the Hollywood Hills.
