Book Description
In the early '90s, Big Tobacco was making a killing. There was no entity more powerful, and national tobacco-related deaths numbered in the hundreds of thousands each year. The economic loss from smoking-related illnesses was billions of dollars. And yet, Big Tobacco had never paid a nickel in court. Until one Southern, small-town lawyer figured out how Florida could sue Big Tobacco to reimburse the state for health care costs. The end result? Beyond the $13 billion settlement, hundreds of thousands of American lives have been, and will continue to be, saved. Meet Fred Levin. Called by his own son “a philanthropist and a cockroach," Fred Levin is no ordinary attorney, and his remarkable story is far from squeaky clean. In And Give Up Showbiz?, New York Times bestselling author Josh Young works closely with Levin to give readers a glimpse into the extraordinary and entertaining life of the top trial lawyer who was a pioneer in establishing American personal injury law. Seen as an inspiring innovator by some and a flamboyant self-promoter by others, Levin has not only fought against Big Tobacco, he has won victories for women, African Americans, and workers everywhere. Levin's unprecedented legal career is just one aspect of his roller-coaster life story. From managing one of the world's greatest boxers to avoiding multiple disbarment attempts, and from becoming a chief in the country of Ghana to even being a person of interest in two separate murder investigations, his story reads like a novel suitable for the silver screen. And Give Up Showbiz? is both shockingly candid and wildly funny.

One Night Stand
Author: Richard Tyler Jordan
Publisher: Oliver-Heber books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
You’re invited to an exclusive den of iniquity… where Hollywood’s gay stars and power brokers can speed-dial the sex fantasies of their dreams… if they can pay the price. It’s a private connection, so guarded, people would do anything to protect its secret… anything! Like millions of other gorgeous, iron-pumped young guys, Derek Bracken came to Hollywood with dreams of stardom and maybe a chance at Mr. Right. But after a few years of waiting tables, juggling acting classes and auditions, and working the casting couch on his back, Derek’s still a sexy unknown… until a sheet-soaking session with a Hollywood hotshot takes his life and career in a very new and profitable direction… As a top-notch escort servicing Tinseltown’s closeted celebrities, politicians, and gay mafia dons, Derek becomes a star in his own right. With his underwear model-worthy body, considerable bedroom skills, and the kind of imagination that turns any encounter into sexual nirvana, he’s made a small fortune and lots of high-powered friends. But Derek wants more. Trawling the West Hollywood clubs and internet chat rooms, the aspiring stud broker collects his own “dirty dozen” –a reliable coterie of young men with diverse body types, trained to cater to rich men’s $5,000-and-up sexual desires. At One Night Stand, nothing is too taboo, too outrageous, too close to the edge for the powerful clients who come to play in private. And Derek, finally finding his place, will do whatever is necessary to take care of his unconventional yet very real family. But not everyone is happy with One Night Stand. For years, the Hollywood and Beverly Hills sex-for-sale scene has been run by the nefarious Fraker, a man who has no intention of being deposed by some new-boy-on-the-block upstart. Watching his business empire crumble, fighting desperately for control, Fraker wants to win at all costs—even if it jeopardizes everyone in Derek’s little black book. As rumors shake Hollywood to its core and headlines about America’s hottest icons paying for gay sex hit front pages the world over, as careers hang in the balance and the sex lives of the rich and famous are splashed across TV screens, Derek and his boys are in for the fight of their lives. And no one has any idea how dirty it will get.
