On Rodeo — Joseph James

Four short blocks in the middle of the Beverly Hills business district comprise Rodeo Drive, ?the Most Famous Shopping Street in the World.? Here, it is possible to buy almost anything the mind can imagine--one-hundred-thousand-dollar dresses, two-hundred-thousand-dollar gold and diamond-encrusted watches, million-dollar vacations to every corner of the globe. You can even buy love here, though it isn?t advertised and few know where to look for it.On Rodeo is the story Beverly Hills billionaire-movie mogul Gilbert Seymour and his tortured relationship with Abby Hanson, a drug-addicted prostitute. The novel spans one tempestuous year in the life of America?s wealthiest town (and its unbridled, sometimes unhinged citizenry.) It takes the reader on a no-holds-barred tour of the back lots and back streets of Beverly Hills---the homes, hangouts and billion dollar businesses that provide the glamorous and alluring backdrop for its very privileged and?until now--very private citizens. On Rodeo offers a sexy, intimate, shocking and dazzling peek behind the velvet ropes and silken curtains of the Golden Triangle?America?s wealthiest Zip Code.
