The Adventures of Cliff Booth: A Novel

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

From Quentin Tarantino, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Cinema Speculation, comes a new novel featuring one of his most iconic creations, Mr. Cliff Booth.

Hollywood, 1977. The Swinging Sixties are long gone—but Clifford Booth keeps on keeping on. Now, Cliff is many things to many people, depending who you ask. He’s a war hero, in a time tired of heroes. He’s a stunt man, though the work hasn’t been the same ever since he got his limp fending off that crazy hippie home in­vasion. He’s an occasional bartender at a tiki joint in Redondo Beach, with a speciality in King Kong’s Rampage (banana liqueur, juice, and a whole buttload of rum). And he’s the part-time projectionist at a dis­count movie house called the New Beverly Cinema.

And then there’s the occasional job for a friend. You see, sometimes industry pals need a hand digging out of the holes they get themselves into, and that’s when they call Cliff. He provides certain clandestine services he doesn’t advertise. But these services are only for his friends, and hotshot TV actor Charlie Peters ain’t a friend of Cliff’s. When Peters summons him to the set of his latest show, Cliff’s hoping Char­lie needs a double. Maybe here’s a way back into the work he really loves and his first steady job since his days doubling Bounty Law star Rick Dalton. But it turns out this isn’t a stunt job, no cameras are rolling, and the dangers are very real. . . .
