1920s script girl Jessie Beckett investigates the murder of a movie
projectionist in this absorbing historical mystery. "Joe Petrovitch
was gunned down on a sunny Saturday afternoon in early October,
during the ninth reel of Charlie Chaplin's Gold Rush." Employed by
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, Jessie Beckett has a busy time
as Script Girl for Pickford-Fairbanks studios. Yet she also has a
reputation as a skilled amateur sleuth. So when a projectionist is
shot dead and his grieving widow asks Jessie if she can find out
who killed him, Jessie is determined to find the killer and his
motive. But who was the mysterious man in the red coat who fired
three shots at Joe Petrovitch? And how could he enter and leave a
crowded theatre without being noticed? To find the answers, Jessie
must delve into the dead man's past and uncover dark secrets from
another continent and another era. As she is to discover, the past
has a long reach...
