Croaked! Author: Dick Lochte Published: April 21, 2007 by Five Star Category: Comedy-thriller Main Character: Harry Trauble "... a brisk, breezy spoof of a popular gentlemen's magazine called Ogle located in Hollywood during 1965. Interoffice politics, sex, drugs (the newest is LSD), centerfold shoots ("Eyefuls"), and general anarchy reign at Ogle. Tongue-in-cheek, the 1960s social satire (Playboy, the "rabbit rag," isn't spared) rolls out in a smooth, droll fashion that would make the late, great Richard Prather proud. Trouble begins when Ogle's frog logo tumbles off the office building's marquee sign and kills Nick Hobart, Vice-President of Circulation. Click for more info. |
