by Ed Brubaker

"Hollywood-1948. A noir film stuck in endless reshoots. A writer plagued by nightmares from the war. An up-and-coming startlet's suspicious death. And a mogul and his security chief who will do anything to keep the cameras rolling before the studio system comes crashing down"--page 4 of cover
