George Baxt: The Neon Graveyard (USA 1989)

From the Publisher:
BAXT'S HOLLYWOOD NOVEL
When the battered body of Clay Stopley is found, the coroner concludes that he either fell or was pushed from a great height -- not, figuratively "speaking, an uncommon fate In Hollywood. Stopleys friend and colleague, federal investigator Norton Valentine, has reason to believe that the dead man spent his last evening at Hagar Simone's castle at one of the parties where, it is rumored, fortunes, reputations and sometimes government secrets are lost. Valentine's list of suspects begins with Hagars guests, who insist that Clay Stopley was never there and include the ever-fascinating Chloe Jupiter a retired sex goddess who lives in a pink heart-shaped mansion and keeps a gorilla -- the Primate kind -- as a bodyguard.

In THE NEON GRAVEYARD, author George Baxt clips his pen in acid and comes up with a gripping and original thriller set in a decadent -- and murderous -- world.
