Synopsis
Warwick Easton is a cop - a movie cop, that is. When this vaudevillian lands in California, his screen prospects look bleak. But a bathtub meeting with Mack Sennett, lands him a stunts-and-chases job. Danger is to be expected in the work of Keystone Cops - but murder is quite another thing.
Put a solemn Englishman into police uniform and thrust him into the crazy world of Keystone Film Studios in 1916 and you have the premise for this novel. The King of Comedy, Mack Sennett, insists on calling the new cop Keystone. But comedy turns swiftly to crime. Shocking things occur that are not in any script – a horrific death on a rollercoaster, a body in a bungalow, the disappearance of a girl, a shooting on a beach.
Keystone the cop gets on the trail. His to find the adorable and much abused blonde actress, Amber Honeybee. The action is threaded through the real stories of silent comedy stars Mack Sennett, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and Mabel Normand.

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen; Abnutzung / Risse - deutlich. 1915 Hollywood. Certainly dangers are to be expected in the rough-and-tumble world of the Keystone Cops--but murder is quite another thing. As comedy turns to crime--a horrific death on a roller coaster, a corpse in a bunglalow, the disappearance of a beautiful girl--"Keystone" the cop suddenly finds himself both the case's only dedicated sleuth and, unfortunately, its prime suspect.
