Editorial Reviews

Review

With its film studios, nightclub culture and the presence of gangsters, the novel authentically portrays the mood of Fifties-era L.A. -- BookWire Review, July 13, 2005

From the Inside Flap

Rick Walker is a successful private investigator with a penchant for the Hollywood jazz scene. When a decayed corpse is discovered at National Pictures Studios during a groundbreaking ceremony, Walker is called in to help identify the victim before the situation gets out of hand.

As the studio attempts to keep the discovery under wraps, Walker tracks down the clues. Hired thugs kidnap Walker, opening up a variety of issues directly related to the seemingly-forgotten murder. From blackmail threats to mesmerizing women, Walker has his hands full.
When the main suspects in the original thirty-year-old crime start to die off, Walker races to finish his search before everyone who knows the truth is eliminated. The investigation leads to thrilling revelations about a dying film director and his wild daughters, a legendary film star of the silent film era and a very discreet love affair.
