FROM CHRISTOPHER DIGRAZIA:  Ten Thousand Midnights: A Theda Bara Mystery

 

Hollywood, 1922. Paramount Pictures director William Desmond Taylor lies dead in his apartment, a bullet in his back. Baffled by multiple suspects and blind alleys, the LAPD turn to silent star Theda Bara for help. With her loyal friend, makeup artist Toby Swanson, she delves into the dark corners of Tinseltown to uncover Taylor’s killer. Fellow stars Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle hold pieces of the puzzle, but Paramount chief Adolph Zukor is determined to hide the secret of Taylor’s murder at any cost. . .even if it means silencing Bara forever.

From the author of The Director’s Cut and The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of comes the third entry in the mystery series that Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Robert J. Avrech praised as making Theda Bara ‘a living, breathing woman.’

I’m a fan of this series, and I’ve been waiting for this book such a long time!
