Below the Line: A Hollywood Crime Novel    by Lowell Cauffiel Order:  USA  Can Arcade, 2023 (2023) Hardcover, e-Book      Reviewed by Barbara Lingens Eddie Blake, an ex-cop from Detroit who is looking for work in Hollywood, tries to help Jason Perry, a wealthy but strange producer, who might get him a job. Blake must find Perry's missing girlfriend and daughter. The problem is, Perry has also hired Warren Poole, a career criminal, to do the same thing. While Eddie and Warren are figuring each other out, their girlfriends are also involved, one with the producer's girlfriend and the other with her daughter. Cauffiel knows how to keep up our interest; the plot twists and turns just as soon as we think we have figured out what happens next. While Eddie and Warren set traps for each other, we learn not only about the movie industry but also about the real Los Angeles and its environs. Though there is a lot of violence and drug use in the story, it's all in the background, which lowers the fright factor. So, with all the fascinating plot turns, this is a really engaging read.
