The blurb on the back:

Fred Nichols went to Hollywood to find a short cut to fame and fortune. There he discovered Tommy Hatcher, a rock and roll sensation - but encountered for the first time the film city's 'star-cross' system.
In this early book, Morton Cooper, author of
The King and The Cameron Story draws on his own experiences as a disc-jockey and first-hand knowledge of the corrupt glamour of Hollywood, to create an authentic novel of the star-making system.


Tommy Hatcher is 'six foot three, two hundred pounds of muscle, forest of pompadour and miles of sideburn' - though you wouldn't guess it from the cover.
