Blending hard-boiled noir and romance into a compelling historical
tale, Looking for Garbo is filled with heart and
action." —Foreword Reviews James Main has a film to make. Seth
Moseley has a story to tell. Neither have any idea how looking for
Garbo would change their lives. When documentary filmmaker James
Main places an ad looking for anyone still above ground who knew
movie goddess Greta Garbo, he's delighted when Seth Moseley, a
salty old reporter, replies with the promise of an untold story of
why the reclusive star left Hollywood at the height of her fame.
Dying of emphysema, Seth tells the story of when he was a
cut-throat paparazzo stow away aboard the S.S. Athenia, intent on
getting a candid photo of Garbo to pay off his gambling debts.
Instead, the newshound falls hard for the enigmatic star as soon as
he meets her face to face. But all is not what it seems and when
war in Europe unexpectedly breaks out while the Athenia is still
steaming across the Atlantic, Seth has to single-handedly save the
movie star in the middle of an open ocean swarming with Nazis.
Their daring escape brings Garbo's film career to a premature end
and shatters the lives of both star and reporter. And, unbeknownst
to James, hearing their story decades later will change his own
life forever.
