Meet Chick Best—a middle-aged, self-absorbed California dot.com millionaire. Other than his house and high-priced foreign cars, Chick’s most expensive possession is his trophy wife, Evelyn. Evelyn is good at spending Chick’s money, money that has pretty much run out. Another problem is his drug-addled sixteen-year-old daughter, Melissa. Though concerned about his family, Chick has resigned himself to a miserable state of acceptance. That is, until he, Evelyn, and Melissa take a Christmas vacation in Maui. With this, Chick’s life changes.…Chick experiences unrequited love at first sight when he observes Paige Ellis emerging from the hotel swimming pool. His obsession, exceeded only by his need to possess her, isn’t diminished when he learns that she is happily married. Instead, Chick’s obsession compels him to drive to Paige’s house, where he runs down and kills her husband. Chick’s life begins to spiral homicidally out of control, resulting in the destruction of everything he holds dear. Will Paige learn the truth about Chick before it’s too late?Fast paced, filled with wry humor, murder, lust, and dead-on L.A. characterizations, Cannell has written his most explosive novel yet.

Scott Brick narrator: You either love him or hate him. There doesn't seem to be any in between. In this case, however, his narration style is perfect for the deranged main character, Chick. What seems to be just an irritation at the beginning of the book turns into full-fledged hatred by the end. This book reads like a made-for-TV movie, and I believe Scott's narration is the key for pulling it off so successfully. If you are looking for a fast-paced, roller coaster ride, then chose this one.
This just didn't do it for me. A very basic, boring plot line. The A Team series on TV had more suspense.
The book hooks you with the story and characters but so glad it finally ended. Worthless book to read.
