The daughter of an Oscar-winning director and a Brazilian bombshell actress, Evra is the city's reigning style queen. By day, she's at the helm of Sunset on Sunset, the boutique beloved by Hollywood's young and beautiful. By night, she's on the arm of Kai de la Faire, Hawaii's hottest export, and the screenwriter of the moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnter Theodora Leigh. The twenty-something Paramount Pictures assistant looks like a big screen star, but her sights are firmly set behind the scenes, as she fights to become a movie producer in a town where sex and sexism sell. Theodora's got the talent and instincts, but she's not willing to wait. Luckily, getting ahead by any means necessary is LA's mantra. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObserving it all is Bea Dupont, a photographer for \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e, who never misses the party, but always keeps to its fringes. A Manhattan blue blood turned West Coast bohemian, Bea holds Evra's Sunset crowd together. She's also Kai's oldest friend, and she's harbored a not-so-secret flame for him since they met at an elite Swiss boarding school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut in Hollywood, no one stays on top forever. And it's not long before Theodora's unrelenting ambition sets in motion a dramatic quest for power in an industry that is as glamorous as it is duplicitous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom Rodeo Drive to the French Riviera, Karin Tanabe's \u003ci\u003eThe Sunset Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of survival and reinvention, of faking it until you make it, and the glittering appeal of success and stardom, as it seeks to answer that timeless question―who gets to have the American dream?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarin Tanabe\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of over half a dozen novels, including \u003ci\u003eA Woman of Intelligence \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Gilded Years.\u003c\/i\u003e A former \u003ci\u003ePolitico \u003c\/i\u003ereporter, her writing has also appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e.
