The Actor's Guide to Adultery (A Jarrod Jarvis Mystery)

Bad news item #1. Former child actor (and constant comeback candidate) Jarrod Jarvis fails to convince the California parole board not to release the stalker who has followed him since his first Oscar Meyer commercial. #2. Jarrod's NBC pilot flatlines before it even hits the air. #3. His agent/best friend Laurette decides to marry gorgeous, shady Juan Carlos Barranco, a really bad soap actor. But it gets worse. During Laurette's wedding, a guest has a heated scene of his own with Juan Carlos—just before he crashes into the three-tier wedding cake, poisoned by a glass of champagne. Much to the dismay of Charlie, his hunky LAPD boyfriend, Jarrod is convinced that Juan Carlos has something to do with the murder. He's determined to get the goods, even if it means trailing him to the set of his latest movie, a “high concept” horror film, and taking a (gasp!) supporting role. Now, trapped in surreal South Florida, Jarrod is living his worst nightmare, keeping one eye on his best friend’s cheating husband, fighting his own attraction to a butch P.I., doing a movie for scale, and running from the mob.
