"This is a Borzoi book"--Title page verso.
Freddy Otash is the man in the know and the man to know in Tinseltown. He operates with two simple rules -- he'll do anything but murder, and he'll never work with commies. Freddy is a corrupt L.A. cop on the skids. He executed a cop killer named Horvath and it gores him. So Captain "Whiskey" Bill Parker cans him. Now, Freddy dons an array of new hats -- sleazoid private eye, shakedown artist, matchmaker for Rock Hudson, pimp for President John F. Kennedy -- and, most notably -- the lead tipster and head strongarm goon for Confidential magazine. Confidential presaged the idiot internet -- and delivered the dirt, the dish, the insidious ink and the scurrilous skank on the feckless foibles of misanthropic movie stars, sex-soiled socialites, and putzo politicians. Freaky Freddy outs them all!
