The martini shot

About this book

The "martini shot" is film slang for the wrap shot in a movie, the signal to strike the set and celebrate with a stiff drink. But aging action film star Charlie West doesn't need an occasion - the empty booze bottles in Charlie's closet risk crowding the skeletons out. Matt Ravendahl, Charlie's illegitimate teenage son and an unforgettable character, in on his way to L.A. in search of acceptance from the father he never knew. When Matt reaches L.A. he must first overcome the doubts of his half sister, Ava, but soon the two form a memorable bond and a commitment to help Charlie confront his demons.
