Maggie Hope?is off?to California?to solve a crime that hits too close to home?and confront the very evil she thought she had left behind in Europe?as the acclaimed World War II mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Susan Elia MacNeal continues. “MacNeal reveals the tarnished underbelly lurking beneath the glamour of the Golden Age of?Hollywood.”?L.A. Chandlar, author of the Art Deco Mystery series Los Angeles, 1943.?As the Allies beat back the Nazis in the Mediterranean and the United States military slowly closes in on Tokyo, Walt Disney cranks out wartime propaganda?and the Cocoanut Grove is alive with jazz and swing every night. But behind this sunny fa?ade lies a darker reality. Somewhere in the lush foothills of Hollywood, a woman floats lifeless in the pool of one of California?s trendiest hotels. When?American-born secret agent and British spy?Maggie Hope learns that this woman?was engaged to her former fianc?e, John Sterling,?and that he suspects her death was no accident, intuition tells her he?s right. Leaving London under siege is a lot to ask.?But John was once the love of Maggie?s life . . . and she won?t say no. ? Maggie struggles with seeing her lost love again, but what?s more shocking is that her own country is as divided and convulsed with hatred as Europe. The Zoot Suit Riots loom large in Los Angeles, and the Ku Klux Klan casts a long shadow everywhere. But there is little time to dwell on memories once she starts digging into the case. As she traces a web of deception from the infamous Garden of Allah to the iconic Carthay Circle Theater, she discovers things aren?t always the way things appear in the movies?and the political situation in America is more complicated, and dangerous, than the newsreels would have them all believe.
