A podcast transcript is turned in to a small publishing house in Los Angeles. It turns out to be a piece of missing evidence in a murder investigation that ran cold. Take Fountain is the reprinting of that transcript, and only by reading the entire conversation can the murder be solved.
Take Fountain is a truly unique novel that slowly simmers to boil as an interview between two filmmakers gives hints to the anatomy of a brutal murder.
"A twisty detour off Sunset Boulevard, Take Fountain is a fast-moving ride through the heart of heartless Hollywood, where green lights are for winners, and Paramount's just a dreamer's drive-on away. For all those creative execs bored out of their collective wits at Comic-Con and constantly haranguing us to find the next Big Knife, Sweet Smell of Success, The Legend of Lylah Clare or similar acid-laced, nihilistic fare that postulates we're all just dog food--this one's a definite recommend--with appealing roles for our actors--especially that guy from Wild Side." --Lem Dobbs, screenwriter of The Limey
