Convicted of murder, a screenwriter gets a chance to clear his name. The police find Toby Challis clutching his bloodstained Oscar statuette, his wife dead at his feet. He claims innocence, but the jury doesn't buy it, believing that such a cinematic murder could spring only from the mind of one of Hollywood's finest screenwriters. Nearly driven mad by the time spent waiting for the verdict, Challis has no idea how he will survive more than a decade in the big house. Lucky for him, he won't have to find out--yet. To transport Challis to prison, the state provides only an old prop plane. A freak blizzard hits it hard, knocking it out of the sky and killing everyone on board but the convict. Challis escapes into the woods, to find the man who killed his wife and plan what every script needs: a Hollywood ending.

The situations and what happened are far fetched, but an entertaining mystery that kept the solution always at bay - well worth reading to the end. The book was very nostalgic between the description of familiar Hollywood locations and references to movies and actors - I particularly liked the Gregory Peck reference to the white lines in Spellbound. What a kicker to read what was current references to well known entertainers 30 years afterwards. Put me right back to 1979.
