Eve Diamond has returned, this time in a sexy, atmospheric, and seductive thriller set in 1949 Los Angeles, inspired by classic noir literature and a true unsolved crime. Lily Kessler, a former stenographer and spy for the OSS, is asked by her late fiance's mother to find out what happened to his sister Kitty, an actress who is missing from her Hollywood boardinghouse. When Kitty's body is found the next day in a ravine below the Hollywood sign, local police are not impressed so Lily investigates on her own. As she looks more closely into Kitty's life, she comes up against fiercely competitive actors, gangsters, an eccentric special-effects genius, exotic denizens of Hollywood's nightclubs, and a homicide detective who might distract her from her quest to learn the truth. This is postwar Los Angeles and Lily begins to realize how easily a young woman can lose her balance and fall prey to the city's dangers. With a vibrant cast of characters and riveting narrative, the reader is readily transported to a fascinating, transitional time in one of America's most beguiling cities.
