Rick Barron, a sharp, capable detective on the Beverly Hills force, finds himself demoted after a run-in with a superior officer, but he soon lands a job other cops only dream about: the security detail for Centurion Pictures, one of the hottest studios in the midst of Hollywood's golden age of the late 1930s.
As the protector of the studio's interests, Barron looks after the elite of filmdom's stars - among them Clete Barrow, a British leading man with a penchant for parties, and Glenna Gleason, a peach of a talent on the verge of stardom. Rick's easy charm has society columnists dubbing him "the Prince of Beverly Hills", the white knight of movie stars, until he stumbles across a murder cover-up and a blackmail scam that threaten the studio's business and may have origins with some unsavory characters.
When two suspicious deaths begin to look like a double murder and an attempt is made on someone who has become an intimate friend, Barron knows he is up against wise guys whose stakes are nothing less than do or die. A dicey war of nerves is on.

"Woods’s sturdy, self-assured crime thriller is satisfying enough to expand an already immense fan base.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Woods writes with smooth confidence as famous names add spice to a diverting summer read that simmers but never gets hard-boiled.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Where does The Prince of Beverly Hills rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Like the change of time periods and the inclusion of real-life actors -wondered how much truth was actually incorporated into the lives of David Niven, Bugsy Siegel etc.Who was your favorite character and why?
There were several nice new characters for a Stuart Wood novel.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narration was okay, but would have enjoyed Tony better.Any additional comments?
A bit anti-climatic but would work for a follow upLike the new character - a bit anti-climatic
