Mystery Amateur Sleuth
In Michael Murphy’s rollicking new Jake & Laura mystery, the
hard-boiled writer and the aspiring movie star head for
sun-drenched Los Angeles, where a cold-blooded murderer
lurks behind the scenes.
Just arrived from New York, Broadway actress Laura Wilson is
slated to star in Hollywood’s newest screwball comedy. At
her side, of course, is Jake Donovan, under pressure to
write his next mystery novel. But peace and quiet are not to
be had when an all-too-real murder plot intrudes: After a
glitzy party, the son of a studio honcho is discovered dead
from a gunshot wound. And since Jake exchanged words with
the hothead just hours before his death, the bestselling
author becomes the LAPD’s prime suspect.
In 1930s Tinseltown, anything goes. Proving his innocence
won’t be easy in a town where sex, seduction, and naked
power run rampant. With gossip columnist Louella Parsons
dead-set on publicizing the charges against him, Jake has no
choice but to do what everyone else does in the City of
Angels: act like someone else. Blackie Doyle, the
tough-talking, fist-swinging, womanizing hero from Jake’s
novels wouldn’t pull any punches until he exposed the real
killer—nor will Jake, to keep the role of a lifetime from
being his last.
