HARD CASE CRIME
01 March 2020
What's hidden behind the Silver Screen?

In New York City, a movie critic has just murdered his girlfriend — well, one of his girlfriends (not to be confused with his wife). Will the unlikely crime-solving partnership he forms with the investigating police detective keep him from the film noir ending he deserves? 

On the opposite coast, movie star Dawn Devayne — the hottest It Girl in Hollywood — gets a visit from a Navy sailor who says he knew her when she was just ordinary Estelle Anlic of San Diego. Now she's a big star who's put her past behind her. But secrets have a way of not staying buried…
