N.Y.: Simon & Schuster, 2007. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. Author's second mystery (after the Edgar-nominated DIE A LITTLE). In 1949, Hollywood starlet Jean Spangler went missing on her way to a late night shoot. Few clues were left behind, and the wild rumors about Jean proved to be no help in finding her. Now it's 1951 and publicist Gil "Hop" Hopkins's career is on the rise. But his success is threatened by a friend of Jean's who blames Hop for concealing details about Jean's disappearance. Driven by guilt and fear of blackmail, Hop begins to investigate the case, but he's not alone. A young and ambitious reporter is also working the case, and Hop must work quickly to stay ahead. What Hop uncovers both shocks and intrigues him. A riveting read that will take you on a dark tour of 1950s Hollywood. . ISBN: 0743291719. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.

Lora's comfortable, suburban life is jarringly disrupted when Bill falls in love with a mysterious young woman named Alice Steele, a Hollywood wardrobe assistant with a murky past. Made sisters by marriage but not by choice, the bond between Lora and Alice is marred by envy and mistrust.

Boulder, CO, U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press, 2007. 1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of this new trade paperback. Two murders-150 years apart-disturb the tranquility of a quiet English village. When a heart attack forces Thomas Harding to retire with his wife Dora to a Tudor manor house in Calleshire County, he soon discovers that it comes complete with a priest hole, built by a clever Elizabethan craftsman and containing-quite unfortunately-a skeleton from a much earlier time. The local doctor says it's a clear case of murder but the police, pointing out that by now the murderer was long dead, decline to investigate. Totally bored by his new life but determined to learn more about "his" murder, Thomas begins to question the villagers, who are currently more concerned with the murder of a young wife and the disappearance of her well-liked husband. But in his efforts to solve a centuries-old crime, Thomas inadvertently contributes to the solution of the modem one and begins to take his place in the village of Easterbrook. Fans of Josephine Tey's "Daughter of Time" will embrace this tale first published in 1967 and the only novel by Aird not to feature Inspector Sloan. . ISBN: 1601870025. 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers.
