Book Description
**Soon to be an Amazon limited series directed by Academy Award winner Ed Berger from Robert Downey Jr.'s Team Downey** Before Charles Manson, there was Tony Costa—the serial killer of Cape Cod 1969: The hippie scene is vibrant in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Long-haired teenagers roam the streets, strumming guitars and preaching about peace and love... and Tony Costa is at the center of it all. To a certain group of smitten young women, he is known as Sire—the leader of their counter-culture movement, the charming man who speaks eloquently and hands out hallucinogenic drugs like candy. But beneath his benign persona lies a twisted and uncontrollable rage that threatens to break loose at any moment. Tony Costa is the most dangerous man on Cape Cod, and no one who crosses his path is safe. When young women begin to disappear, Costa's natural charisma and good looks initially protect him from suspicion. But as the bodies are discovered, the police close in on him as the key suspect. Meanwhile, local writers Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer are locked in a desperate race to secure their legacies as great literary icons—and they both set their sights on Tony Costa and the drug-soaked hippie culture that he embodies as their next promising subject, launching independent investigations that stoke the competitive fires between two of the greatest American writers. Immersive, unflinching, and shocking, Helltown is a landmark true crime narrative that transports us back to the turbulent late 1960s, reveals the secrets of a notorious serial killer, and unspools the threads connecting Costa, Vonnegut, and Mailer in the seaside city that played host to horrors unlike any ever seen before. New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman has crafted a stunner.

His quest for fortune and glory continues in Hollywood, where he intends to make his mark in the motion picture industry.

A year later, battling loneliness and sexual addiction, he¿s working in the pornography business. His only friends are the stray pets he takes in.

Jordan becomes The Midnight Man, a superhero experiment created and enhanced by the Helltown cult in order to steal the thunder of the motion picture industry and bring to light the evils being unleashed on the movie-going public¿the same public that condemned the once-graceful hero. A war hero makes his way to Hollywood, where his attempts to become a star are derailed by a world of sex and perversion.

After nearly finishing off Hitler and winning acclaim for his heroic exploits, the Jewish Jordan heads to California to seek his fortune. Just as it seems Lucky's about to catch his first break, scandal erupts when he's photographed in a compromising position with several underage girls. Disgraced, he fades away from the movie scene and uses his unique combination of talents for the benefit of Madame Mona, pleasure-provider extraordinaire. As a bodyguard and gigolo, Lucky exacts revenge on the men who set him up by sexually pleasing their wives. His life of sexual addiction is ultimately unsatisfying... thrilling homage to pulp magazines and golden-age comic books¿ -Kirkus Discoveries
