Elliott Gross is one such case; fresh out of college, he moved west from New York with hopes of writing for the silver screen and living a life of fame and fortune. A couple of years later, he's writing for an adult magazine and living in a garage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year is 1994 and, with the rise of the internet, the era of print pornography is in its twilight, but \u003ci\u003eRaunchy\u003c\/i\u003e's owner has enough \"catch-and-kill\" secrets in the vault to ensure that his power will persist as long as his silence remains valuable. When Gross is sent to write a profile on the company's newest starlet, he discovers that she has vanished seemingly without a trace. To find her, he embarks on a twisted journey through a business both seedy and carnivalesque. Rumors of a sensitive VHS tape held in the vault, which may hold the secret to Crystal's whereabouts, stir around Elliott and he stumbles into a corpse. Before his search can be concluded, a shadow of suspicion falls on Gross and his position is terminated. Then he washes up at a celebrity-anchored New Age wellness brand and discovers a world far darker and more cruel than the porn industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining David Gordon's trademark humor with a stylish, unflinching, and unpredictable plot, \u003ci\u003eBehind Sunset\u003c\/i\u003e is a comic and noir-tinged tour through Tinseltown that uncovers darkness and lightness, in equal measure, from the most unexpected of sources.","brand":"The Mysterious Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48152038932735,"sku":"9781613166536","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781613166536_s600x595.jpg?v=1777475195","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781613166536","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
