A Scandal in Hollywood
A Scandal in Hollywood By Karen and Kevin Flynn
Was Thomas Ince murdered on Hearst's yacht the Oneida? If so, who killed Hollywood's greatest innovator. It remains as one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries.
The year is 1924, the movie industry is about to experience an explosive transformation from silent films to talkies. The studio system is coming into vogue, but Hollywood has already assumed a legendary status. All movies produced in America are made here and eighty percent of those around the world. Actors, producers and directors are flocking to Hollywood along with "wantobe" actors and actresses. All arrive with the hope of that one big break, the chance to be discovered, the chance to be a star.
Beneath the glitter and glamour exists a dark underside. A city run by a corrupt criminal administration. Scandals, coverups, abuse, neglect and even death. James Madison is investing a death from tainted cocaine and a cabbie by the name of Raymond Chandler becomes an unlikely hero.
Having helped save the life of Bill Tilghman, perhaps the greatest gunman in the west, Cat Henderson comes west to witness the filming of his new movie. But a package delivered to the wrong address puts thirteen-year-old Cat Henderson center stage in one of the greatest scandals to rock Hollywood.
And what part does Slim Purdee, sometime stuntman and frequent gambler play. Cat meets a new friend and ally and together they attempt to keep out of harm's way as the William Randolph Hearst along with the entire police force of Los Angeles are on the hunt for her.
And what of her friend Nish and her group as they investigate the kidnapping and extortion of Japanese Americans. Meanwhile, a cabbie, a private detective and the Los Angeles District Attorney attempt to unravel a mystery that has stumped the nation for one hundred years. And what is that object that has been reported flying off the California coast?
