Mystery Historical
Los Angeles, 1938. Former aspiring actress Lillian Frost is
adjusting to a new life of boldfaced names as social
secretary to a movie-mad millionaire. Costume designer Edith
Head is running Paramount Pictures’ wardrobe department, but
only until a suitable replacement comes along. The two
friends again become partners thanks to an international
scandal, a real-life incident in which the war clouds
gathering over Europe cast a shadow on Hollywood. Lillian attended the Manhattan dinner party at which
well-heeled guests insulted Adolf Hitler within earshot of a
maid with Nazi sympathies. Now, secrets the maid vengefully
spilled have all New York society running for cover – and
two Paramount stars, Jack Benny and George Burns, facing
smuggling charges. Edith also seeks Lillian’s help on a related matter. The
émigré pianist in Marlene Dietrich’s budding nightclub act
has vanished. Lillian reluctantly agrees to look for him.
When Lillian finds him dead, Dietrich blames agents of the
Reich. As Lillian and Edith unravel intrigue extending from
Paramount’s Bronson Gate to FDR’s Oval Office, only one
thing is certain: they’ll do it in style. Renee Patrick's Dangerous to Know beguilingly blends
forgotten fact and fanciful fiction, while keeping Hollywood
glamour front and center
