She was a monastic person, one who would be happy to
live as a recluse, a hermit . . . if only the other caves
would hold occasional yard sales. Ay, there was the rub.
Jane had to put up with all those other people because
people begat stuff, and stuff, for Jane, was what brought
people palatably to life. It made others interesting,
warm, human. It was what people kept and what they
discarded that guided Jane through the confusion of human
emotions. But how could Jane go along on her anonymously
merry way, scouting junk in alleys and yards, on rummage
sale tables, and auction house floors, if she was involved
in some ego-wrenching nonsense in, for the love of Pete,
Hollywood?
Soon after a TV magazine profiles
antique collector Jane Wheel for her role as an amateur
sleuth, her story catches the eye of Wren Bixby, owner of
Bix Pix Flix in Los Angeles. Bixby wants the rights to
Jane’s story for her offbeat independent film company and
eventually persuades Jane to leave behind her newfound
hometown celebrity in Kankakee, Illinois, and head west
for Hollywood. But Jane’s time in Tinseltown is
interrupted when she discovers that someone has targeted
Bix and her partners, and Jane resumes her role as
detective, determined to stop a killer. In Hollywood
Stuff, Sharon Fiffer captures the light and dark sides
of Hollywood as Jane discovers that in the buying and
selling of Hollywood memories and memorabilia, it’s a
murderous marketplace where the price can
kill.
