Book Description

Hollywood hadn't changed, Johnny Liddell decided. The hot spots were as clamorous and the women as glamorous as ever. But, his vacation had been snapped off in the budding - to look for Harvey Randolph, matinee movie idol who had disappeared.

He found his man, all right, but when he did Randolph was a charred corpse in the morgue, victim of an automobil accident. Clothes wallet and teeth all indicated that the body was that of the disappearing flicker star, Harvey Randolph. But it was left to pretty Toni Belden of the Dispatch to reason that it was murder!

Trying to track down a motive and a killer, Johnny and Toni Belden were soon confronted with two more vicious murders and - at last - a strange and a significant detail that wrecked logic completely, turned the whole case upside down and brought about a startling revelation... A mystery packed with tense excitment, with a weird and startling denouement at the finish.
