About this title: In 1955, Orson Welles, the child prodigy of Hollywood, turned the only novel he ever wrote into a spine-tingling motion picture starring himself. When playboy Guy van Stratten accepted the bizarre assignment it seemed an easy way to make $10,000--until he realized he had been hired to be his own executioner!
