Publisher's Summary

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

"A murder mystery that feels as magnetic, timeless, and inextricable from Hollywood legend as the Black Dahlia . . . There's no one better at writing the dark side of Hollywood than Halley Sutton."—Ashley Winstead, author of In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

Salma Lowe, progeny of Hollywood royalty and a once-promising child actor, spends her days as a guide for the Stars Six Feet Under tour, leading tourists through Los Angeles’s star-studded avenues to sites where actresses of the past met untimely ends. Salma knows better than anyone that a tragic death is the surest path to stardom. Her sister, Tawney, viciously dubbed the "Hurricane Blonde," was murdered in the nineties, the case never solved and, to Salma’s ire, indefinitely closed . . . until Salma stumbles upon a dead body mid-tour, on the property where her sister once lived, at the precise scene of her sister’s demise. Even more uncanny: the deceased woman also looks like Tawney.

The police are convinced this woman’s death was an accident—but Salma is haunted by the investigation’s echoes of her own past. What if this woman’s murder points to Tawney’s killer? Launching her own investigation, Salma plunges back into the salacious but seductive world of Hollywood. And what she’ll find is that old secrets may just be worth killing for.

What the critics say

One of Paste Magazine's Must-Read Thrillers of Summer 2023

"While the twisty, L.A. true crime-like story [is] enough of a hook, Sutton’s critique of toxic Hollywood culture add[s] a bow to this splashy noir bubbling with rage." —The Seattle Times

"Enthralling . . . Sutton indicts our culture for its fixation on beautiful young women who died at the hands of others.”The New York Times Book Review

"Is a tragic death the only way to cement one's legacy in Hollywood? Halley Sutton delivers a twisty rumination of this question.” —PopSugar
