LA, 1924. Between her new job writing painfully historically inaccurate scenes for Foremost Studios and wrangling her silent movie star sister-in-law Kitty out of the arms of her many suitors, young British widow Emma Blackstone is settling into new her life in the golden state of California. So, when another one of Kitty's old flames, renowned film director Ernst Zapolya, calls Emma and tells her it's imperative that he meet with Kitty that morning, she's not surprised. Until, that is, he adds that lives depend on it. What can have scared him so badly--and what on earth does Kitty have to do with it? When Kitty and Emma arrive at the set of Ernst's extravagant new movie, they make a shocking--and deadly--discovery. Will they stay alive long enough to solve the murderous puzzle? The gripping Silver Screen historical mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Barbara Hambly brings the sights and sounds of golden-age Hollywood to life.
