"You shall never have a penny of my money. Leave me alone or I will
shoot you dead!" 1924. After six months in Hollywood, young British
widow Emma Blackstone has come to love her new employer, glamourous
movie-star Kitty Flint - even if her late husband's sister is one
of the worst actresses she's ever seen. Looking after Kitty and her
three adorable Pekinese dogs isn't work Emma dreamed of, but Kitty
rescued her when she was all alone in the world. Now, the worst
thing academically-minded Emma has to worry about is the shocking
historical inaccuracies of the films Kitty stars in. Until, that
is, Rex Festraw - Kitty's first husband, to whom she may or may not
still be married - turns up dead in her dressing room, a
threatening letter seemingly from Kitty in his pocket. Emma's
certain her flighty but kind-hearted sister-in-law has been framed.
But who by? And why? From spiteful rivals to jealous boyfriends,
the suspects are numerous. But as Emma investigates, she begins to
untangle a deadly plot - and there's something Kitty's not telling
her . . . This gripping first in a brand-new series from
NYT-bestselling author Barbara Hambly brings the sights and sounds
of Hollywood to life and is a perfect pick for fans of
female-fronted historical mysteries set in the roaring twenties.
