It is an international thriller/mystery about a Hollywood movie megastar fighting for his life and for that of his family in a tale that reaches deep into his past and spans contemporary California, Italy and Azerbaijan. The father of the main character is a Korean combat veteran who had suffered from PTSD and whose violent death plays a significant role in the plot to kill his movie star son and family.
Jacobs post-Korea career included several years as a print reporter, an award-winning network TV news producer/writer/director/executive in New York & Los Angeles, founder and president of Odyssey Productions in Hollywood all of which culminated in academe and professor emeritus status. He has also published a non-fiction book, Changing Channels, and numerous magazine articles.
