What is it about Dave Hill that’s so great? Here’s how he describes himself on his very excellent Web site: “I am the new Hollywood ‘It’ girl, the next Leo, Americas fresh-faced boy next door, and your new best friend all rolled into one. I am a poet, a dancer, and — perhaps most of all — a thief. Soon I am to steal your heart.” He’s already swiped ours.

In this gripping tale, fresh-faced all-American Dave goes to work as a book escort for David Rakoff, who was out promoting the wonderful “Don’t Get Too Comfortable,” before it all goes terribly, horribly wrong — and hilarity ensues!
