When Truman Morrow decides that he's had enough of the movie business, a near-death encounter with a mysterious stranger reveals that this former Hollywood insider has been chosen for a dangerous mission, one far more important than fame and fortune.
Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley, is a novel about the mysterious land behind the Hollywood sign. From the historic mission of its patron saint, to the soul-crushing chief executive of a movie studio, Truman Morrow romances and fights his way through the dark shadows of the valley, weaving danger, love, mystery and history into a romantic thriller that will leave you questioning the very foundations of the entertainment business.
“Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley is one of the best books ever written about Hollywood simply because it does what others haven’t. It shows us that the road to hell is paved with gold and lined with movie studios and talent agencies. Ernie Mannix’s novel belongs on my bookshelf right between Budd Schulberg's The Disenchanted, and C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's that good!” — Michael McGruther, screenwriter of Tigerland
"If F. Scott Fitzgerald and Patricia Highsmith had a child, it would've been an author just like Ernie Mannix. His novel Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley is the singular combination of both styles and will forever change your perception of life in Hollywood.” — Rick Tumlinson, writer, The Huffington Post
A word from the author:
What would you do if one day you were chosen to help clean up a dirty town, a town infamous for destroying souls and robbing countless young dreamers of their better years? I'm talking about Hollywood, California and this is where Truman Morrow, the hero in my debut novel, Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley, begins his incredible journey into the depths of the entertainment business.
Hollywood is filled with tales of bad behavior, ruined careers, suicides, and overdoses—but these are all just the ugly dividends of a much deeper problem, a problem both terrifying and fascinating at the same time—a problem that makes one hell of a good setting for a romantic thriller.
What if show business is in fact an evil enterprise? What if evil spirits are thriving on human misery like vampires thrives on blood? Is it then too hard to imagine that they've built an entire industry around keeping themselves fed?
This is the world Truman encounters and what he discovers will startle you. — Ernie Mannix
