MACGUFFIN
John Mollard, author
Hollywood, California, August 2005. The double murder of a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and his fiancee leaves LAPD homicide detectives baffled. Assigned to assist in the investigation, FBI Special Agent Haley Murch has a theory—were the slayings a copycat of the 1969 Manson murders or were they the work of somebody else altogether, someone elusive? For the past six years, she had researched the exploits of a notorious serial killer the media had come to call “The Hollywood Walk of Fame Killer” - a killer whose calling card matched those left behind at the crime scene. To solve this mystery, it will take the LAPD’s lead homicide detective’s obsessive knowledge of Hollywood film history and Agent Murch’s masterful profiling ability to thwart this serial killer.

Roy C. Booth and John F. Mollard shove you into the director’s seat with this highly innovative project. 

Fast paced and fastidiously worded, these writers prove to know their craft in a literary sense, as well as their roles behind the camea as they utter every detailed description with such forethought and accuracy.

MACGUFFIN will serve to give you strong motive to read it from beginning to end. 

Truly Hitchcockian with a modern element to die for; MACGUFFIN offers many uplifting aspects that modern film and literature have been missing, while still keeping to its roots that the authors so clearly hold as an object of high regard. 

Booth and Mollard introduce a strong array of provocative, plot driven characters that will sometimes feel oddly familiar, though refreshing and innovative at the same time. Perhaps like an inexplicable—though welcome—case of Déjà vu. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe and above all else, you’ll want to experience this more than once.

I, for one welcome MACGUFFIN, so be it on my book shelf or my DVD case.

Cheers to Roy C. Booth and John F. Mollard—MACGUFFIN delivers!

“Not your usual straightforward murder mystery but the reader is drawn into a web of intrigue and suspense. Certainly kept me on the edge of my seat and I would read this author again. Excellent.”

“Very enjoyable book. Moved along at a steady pace so you didn't get bored. Characters were all macho, including the women which was nice. The Hollywood history was an extra bonus because I like a book I learn something from. Good job John and Roy. Hope to read more from you in the future.”

“Great book! The story kept me entertained and wanting to know what was next throughout the whole book. I really liked that the story line was not predictable-a lot of exciting surprises with the characters.”

Your novel truly captured my interest and imagination from the very first page. I started reading it, thinking I'd just read a few pages out of curiosity. Next thing I knew, I was yelling at my kids to make their own dinner so I could keep reading. By then, I was about 50 pages in with no intention of stopping until sleep claimed me! I've read it once. Now that I know the story, I'm reading it again. It reads like a movie, the way Stephen King's early work does…
