Or, in upscale PARADISO lingo, rather a cul-de-sac.Streetwise Anne has a colorful past as a hustler, model and then some. She's hiding from U.S. prosecution in Mediterranean Europe after a stint on the lam in the Caribbean.She knew the consequences. Did it anyway.

Turmoil is brewing, and before she has a chance to react, she's caught in a tailspin. Who fixes for a fixer?Enter Mr. Hollywood, a sought-after fixer who could use a breather. Unfortunately, he brings trouble of his own. His last job was exceptionally dangerous and dirty, nearly gotten him and his crew of Mexican ex-gangbangers killed. So he's accepted what looks like a straightforward, white-collar manhunt. The perks aren't bad, either: private planes and investigations in suitably ritzy destinations like Malibu, Venice, St. Barts, Miami, and the C te d'Azur. And collaborating with attractive, mysterious, delicately dangerous Anne? He wouldn't exactly call that a hardship. They have a lot in common. Like hellhounds on their trail. When said hellhounds blow into Paradiso, things take a turn for the worse. Only then does Mr. Hollywood realize that this assignment may be his swan song. If he's lucky enough to make it that far.
