It's the Roaring Twenties but silence remains golden in Hollywood. Sound is expensive. Only two studios have installed sound equipment. Matt Hudson, the preferred bootlegger of the film industry, wants to produce a talking picture but neither sound studio will lease him their facilities. After Hud's oldest friend, con man Danny Kincaid, dupes a gangster who controls a small movie studio into buying a bogus sound device, the gangster gets wise and Danny ends up dead. To settle the score, Hud runs another con to play the gangster again. A con that will either avenge Danny and land Hud a studio, or get him killed.

Opening scene: Danny, who was passed out, awakens in his car as it sinks into the Pacific Ocean. He can't unroll his windows, can't pull up the door locks, and can't open the doors, because he's been worked over by a thug who broke all of his fingers, and wrecked his elbows, shoulders and kneecaps. Curtains for Danny.

Next morning, Danny's best friend Matt Hudson (called Hud), learns of this murder and vows to take revenge. This is 1928, and Hud's a bootlegger who supplied movie studios around LA and some of the ritzier eateries. Interspersed in the story is the subplot about early movie making, and Hud's firm belief that talking movies like The Jazz Singer are the way of the future (which all studios are firmly denying, claiming that the only reason the audiences loved it so is because Al Jolson sang), and his attempts to get a studio to let him use a stage to make a "talkie". There's also the mob guy from Chicago who keeps hijacking Hud's trucks.

Plenty of twists and turns, and although we knew "whodunit" from the beginning, it was certainly a very well told, fast paced and entertaining story. Great work, Mr. Stone!

Play Him Again by Jeffrey Stone is a feast for anyone interested in the history of movies, prohibition, gangsters, grifters and bootleggers. In Jeffrey's noire tale, we are taken back in time to the 1920s when cops were paid to turn a blind eye to rum running and the disbursement of alcohol which fueled many late night Hollywood parties. Hud is a first rate bootlegger to the stars as prohibition is in its upswing, and with prohibition, gangsters and crooks vie for territories to earn their livelihood and they often try to knock each other out of the way to take over certain areas for their lucrative business dealings. Not only does Hud run a successful liquor business in the midst of gamblers and theives, he also has dreams of making talking pictures - but he's having a very hard time convincing studio heads that talking pictures are the way of the future, even though, The Jazz Singer, featuring Al Jolson, was a huge success.

When Hud's long time friend, Danny is killed by a rival, Hud makes it his mission to find the culprit. Along the way, Hud meets many amazing people such as Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, he also picks up enemies who would like to have Hud's territory and booze to profit from and makes the acquaintance of many a starlet and villainous gangster.

This is an all around good tale if you are a Hollywood history buff or love gangster stories. Jeffrey Stone shows his passion for the time period in a great tale of intrigue filled with memorable characters. It looks as though Jeffrey Stone intends for this to be a series and I am greatly looking forward to more adventures that involve Hud, Swede, Sylvia, Nora and the rest of the cast of players. I also look forward to all of the interesting tidbits regarding the Jazz Age. If you enjoy Hollywood history, this is a great book. In this story, we learn the ins and outs of the movie business way back when, when silent movies ruled and talkies were a thing of the future.

Play Him Again is a very well edited ebook. The author paid great attention to detail and spent a lot of time perfecting his story. I hope he earns many, many readers through this first book. Jeffrey Stone can only get better and better from here.

A can't put it down novel of rumrunning, bootlegging, gambling, grifting, and the introduction of Talking Pictures in the movie industry of the twenties. Great characters, interesting history of the times, and a compelling plot make for a great read.
Our hero, a rumrunner who plays golf with Douglas Fairbanks, hobknobs with Chaplin and studio heads,and aspires to break into the movie industry is forced to avenge the death of his lifelong friend, when local law enforcment wants to pass off the murder as an accident. When you live outside the law, you can't exactly call the police when you have a problem. Our hero, Matt Hudson has got more problems than he can count when a Chicago mobster moves to Hollywood and tries to muscle in on Hudson's very elegant, uppercrust "bootlegging to the stars" business. Hudson must resort to his hardknocks, hardknuckles past to fight for his life, and avenge his friend.
Cannot wait for more history rich stories with this interesting character and his array of fascinating friends.

Set in the twenties, a group of run runners branch out into movies, or at least want to.
I wasn't sure this was a crime novel, a history of smuggling, or a history of talking movies.
There was so much information, it often got in the way of the story, although I don't doubt it was accurate.
The main characters were good, I rooted for the hero. But, sometimes, there was just too much detail and I put the book down.
I did finish, and the final action was good, but I'd have enjoyed a bit less history.

Play Him Again is like finding a gold coin mixed in with your regular change. It's a tightly written, engrossing novel set in the roaring twenties and populated by believable and interesting characters. The protagonist, Matt Hudson, or "Hud" as he likes to be called, is a well-crafted hero with enough nuances to make him interesting as he pursues his dream of getting into the movie business. In the meantime, he's satisfied at being a bootlegger. When his friend is murdered, Hud sets off on a trail of vengeance that is reminiscent of the old Newman and Redford movie, The Sting. The book is populated with a bunch of other equally engrossing characters like barrel-chested Swede, a couple of well drawn and luscious ladies, and a vicious gangster who serves as Hud's antagonist. Play Him Again also gives a credible portrayal of the early days of Hollywood when the technology existed to add sound to the movies, but nobody thought it would work. The author is able to effectively integrate enough history with the story to give it the feel of authenticity. This is Jeffrey Stone's first novel and it's a jewel. Pick it up and you won't be disappointed. It held my interest throughout. I look forward to seeing more work from this author.
