Sleuthing duo Lillian Frost and Edith Head investigate a
behind-the-scenes scandal in this delightful Golden Age of
Hollywood mystery. 1939, Los Angeles. Lillian Frost is shocked when
her friend, glamorous costume designer Edith Head, hands her the
script to a new film that's about to start shooting. Streetlight
Story is based on a true crime: the California Republic bank
robbery of 1936. Lillian's beau, LAPD detective Gene Morrow, was
one of the officers on the case; his partner, Teddy, was tragically

lot and the police reopening the investigation into Teddy's death,
Lillian is determined to find answers. Can Lillian and Edith
uncover the truth of what happened that fateful day and clear
Gene's name?
