The 1940s. The Great Golden Age of Entertainment.
The stars are always shining, the streets are paved with possibilities, and the most dangerous thing a man can do is dig into the scandals rippling not far beneath the glitz and glamour. A man could get killed.
But a woman might just get away with it.
1946. Screenwriter Lauren Atwill, once one of Hollywood’s most promising talents, tries to put her life back together: her marriage to one of the movies’ most desirable men has foundered, nearly taking her career with it.
Then she discovers that she has another remarkable gift: solving crimes.
Hounded by publicity from a vicious scandal, Lauren escapes LA for the secure anonymity of New York City. With handsome PI Peter Winslow along as bodyguard and a screenplay to write for the popular radio mystery series Adam Drake, For Hire, she should have more than enough to keep her occupied and out of trouble. Then her new friend Hazel Keane – an heiress and the producer of Adam Drake – is brutally murdered in her office late at night. As Lauren and Peter investigate, they become convinced it was an inside job. And if you’re going to investigate an inside job, it helps to be on the inside. Lauren goes undercover as a junior writer on Adam Drake – and must risk her life again – to catch the killer.
