It’s 1939. Promising starlet Clara Lockhart disappears from a glittering studio party and fails to show up for a big audition. In a town where ugly things can happen to pretty girls, private investigator Spencer McCoy has to act fast if he’s going to save her.
But when McCoy talks to party guests he walks straight into Hollywood’s famous wall of silence: no one will say anything out of fear they’ll never work in movies again. After the precious necklace Clara was wearing turns up around the neck of another young starlet who also seems to have vanished, McCoy realizes the case is bigger than he ever imagined.
With an escaped tiger stalking the streets of L.A., heavies threatening him at every turn and a new secretary who has ideas above her station, Spencer McCoy must battle powerful enemies to uncover Hollywood secrets that were always meant to stay buried.
Will our hero manage to save the day and the dame? Or will he become another victim of the Hollywood machine?
