The Player by Michael Tolkin

A darkly satirical thriller that follows a high-powered Hollywood studio executive who, after receiving anonymous threatening postcards from a disgruntled writer, becomes enmeshed in a murder, cover-up, and mounting paranoia; the novel uses the crime to expose the greed, moral bankruptcies, and commodification of art within the film industry while tracking the protagonist’s unraveling personal and professional life.
