To Kill the Duke (Paperback)

From the Publisher: 'to kill the duke' works because of the very 'cool' interplay of Moffie's two plots, one involving a determined Russian plan to assassinate the Hollywood movie icon and American hero John Wayne with another that is based upon the 1956 production of the barbarian epic called "The Conqueror" starring the Duke (John Wayne) and Susan Hayward that is to be filmed in southern Utah. Howard Hughes provides the financing, Dick Powell is the director and co-producer and Oscar Millard the screenwriter. Throw in a cast of thousands and the result is maniac satire that readers of Moffie's novels have come to expect.
