Greed & Stuff — Jay S. Russell

It's the story of a man named Marty.
Once he was a very busy TV sitcom star.
Then he kind-of burned out and became a washed-up private eye.
Now Marty Burns is back on television, playing a P.I. and trying to make rehashed "Hawaii Five-O" scripts sound convincing.
While he's waiting to find out if his show is renewed (it's not doing well with the 18-34 year-olds), Marty stumbles across an enigma involving the classic noir film The Devil on Sunday, a shady remake, and a very real corpse.
"Greed & Stuff" is Jay Russell's strongest novel yet---a fast-moving, wise-cracking L.A. story peopled with fascinating characters, brimming with brio, and driven by a compelling mystery. This novel confirms Russell's standing as one of the hottest young voices in the mystery field.
