When Officer Charlie Willis pulls over a speeding Rolls-Royce hell-bent for Neiman Marcus, he's surprised to see TV's kindly Miss Agatha leveling a .45 at his stomach. He's even more surprised when she guns him down and keeps on driving. Charlie wakes up in the hospital to find a William Morris agent and a network executive at his bedside. The next thing Charlie knows, he's the star of the cop show My Gun Has Bullets and embroiled in a mob takeover of network television. First Charlie Willis novel by Lee Goldberg.
