Treachery Unmasked

Success comes at a steep price, if you are willing to pay it.


Sammy Taylor was 1940's Hollywood's next big thing. At only 14, he is entering a crucial age for child actors in an industry known for chewing them up and spitting them out. Knowing he doesn't have much more time to move into older, adult parts, and with his contract expiring at his current studio, Sammy follows along as his mother and agent seek a new home. None other than the biggest major, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer!


Life is beginning to look up, but when his mother is arrested for passing counterfeit money Sammy sees his world start to fall apart. His All American film image in jeopardy, as well as his future career, Sammy starts a private investigation into where the money came from. His problems are only beginning as other characters settle on his heels: a man who may or may not be a Federal agent, a German speaking man ransacking his room, plus a mysterious hooded and cloaked figure.


Events spiral out of control as Sammy discovers a wide reaching conspiracy reaching all the way back to Nazi Germany. Time is running out as Sammy and his friend collide with nefarious forces bent on destruction of the United States economy – and them, if they get in the way.


And there's one truth about Hollywood – nothing is what it seems.

About the Author

Dorian Rockwood is a pen name of C.W. James, which in turn is the pen name of an author who lives in rural Northern Nevada with two rescue cats. He enjoys hiking and movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood, especially 'B' movies and the serials from Republic Pictures. Under his real name, he has published four middle to upper-grade nonfiction books, as well as approximately two dozen magazine articles on topics such as movies and computer tutorials.

The "Rockwood" surname is an homage to "Roy Rockwood," one of the pseudonyms used by the early 1900s juvenile book author and packager, Edward Stratemeyer.
