Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. BOOK: Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Good; Repaired; Moderately Creased; Heavily Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. By the author of The Other Side of Midnight. TV TIE-IN: This novel was the basis for the 1993 Made-for-Television film of the same name. SYNOPSIS: Toby Temple was a superstar, adored by millions, envied, spoiled, feared. He was the world's funniest, most popular comedian and at the peak of his career he could name any price, choose any woman. No one could guess that behind the boyish façade lay an embittered and lonely man. For Toby Temple had found success the hard way, through years in dingy vaudeville theatres, living in isolated poverty. Those years were to leave their mark-when Toby Temple's dream of fame and fortune became reality, he found that there was no one to trust, no one to love. Until he met Jill Castle, the sensual, beautiful woman who became his lifeline. What Toby didn't know was that Jill carried within her a terrible secret and an ambition that made his own seem negligible by contrast. Between them Toby and Jill ruled the glittering world of show business. They were fated to love, their affair destined to end in tragedy. The denouement will chill and stun you. Sidney Sheldon's last novel The Other Side of Midnight has been read by over twelve million people in the United States alone. A Stranger in The Mirror is as remarkable a feat of story-telling. Sidney Sheldon has had a most remarkable career. The New York Times acclaimed his novel, The Naked Face, as "the best first mystery novel of the year." At the age of twenty-four Mr Sheldon had three hit musicals playing simultaneously on Broadway. A theatrical, motion picture, and television producer-writer-director, Mr Sheldon has been awarded an Oscar for his original screenplay of The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, Screen Writers Guild Awards for Annie Get Your Gun and Easter Parade and a Tony for Broadway show Redhead.
