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.
