Opis

Hollywood in 1937 is a town unlike any other, filled with fame, fortune, and excitement. It's also a town filled with scandal-both hidden and public. When gay private investigator Oakley Webster uncovers a mysterious connection between some of Hollywood's celebrity Jewish community and Nazi Germany, he'll rely on the help of some of Tinseltown's biggest names to uncover the truth. What is the cost of doing business during those turbulent times? Why does it take the Second World War for the media to reveal what's really going on? And how does Hollywood manage to silence even Louella Parsons, its most powerful gossip columnist, once she learns the truth? What is the true but little-known connection between Jewish-owned film studios and Nazi Germany? What is the possible story behind the fall of William Haines, the first openly gay star in Hollywood, and the role of Louis B. Mayer, cofounder of Metro-Goldwyn Mayer studios? How does a big-screen face like Joan Crawford factor in? In this history-based tale, author David Wallace creatively transports his readers to a glamorous era filled with not-so-glamorous secrets.
