I've been buying The National Enquirer religiously at the grocery for about seven years now, but the first I heard of Mike Walker's novel was when I heard him on "Louisiana Live" the other day. I got the book at the library, and read it in one night. National Enquirer -- why you hiding this great book under your bushel?

I can see why the National Enquirer wouldn't like this book. It tells us readers how they gather their info on the stars. I can see why Hollywood might not like it. It seems like a collection of ruthless people in a mostly unpleasant, high-stakes place. And I can see why elitist book editors would look down their noses at this book -- it's writtem after all, by a card-carrying member of the tawdry tabloids. I have no connection with those worlds. I'm just a regular reader looking for a good story, and I sure as heck found it in Malicious Intent.

I got the inside scoop on the raciest, most entertaining novel of the season. Mike Walker's Malicious Intent is a non-stop thrill ride through the dangerous and spectacular world that is Hollywood. And let me tell you, it ain't no Disneyland. Charmain Burns is a sexual predator, a vengeful starlet with a sordid past and a few secrets she doesn't want shared. Cameron Tull, a big-time Gossip guru, will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. This story sizzles with deceit and seduction -- two things Hollywood thrives on. And Mike Walker should know-- he's been a top-notch gossip reporter for years and still going strong! So put the kids to bed, slip into something slinky, and grab your copy of Malicious Intent.
