Entertainment critic and film noir author Carroll Quint gets a
panicky call from his mother, former movie starlet Karen Kaas.
Vicky Vandamn, a roommate of Karen's some thirty years ago when
they worked at Talbot Studios, disappeared from Hollywood under
mysterious circumstances. Now she's been found dead on her
houseboat in nearby Sausalito, a reported suicide victim. Quint's
mother is certain that Vicky, who was involved with a rough
Hollywood crowd, was murdered. "Act like one of those private eyes
in your book, dear, and find out who killed her." Quint tries to do
just that, and soon finds himself tangled up with lazy cops, a
paranoid PI, a billionaire former movie-studio head, and a Peeping
Tom-who kept a very close eye on Vandamn. When all appears to be
lost, Quint's mother comes up with a revealing old still photo and
a clue involving Fred Astaire's hands that set Quint on a collision
course with the murderer.
