Searchlights and Shadows (Hollywood's Garden of Allah novels Book 4)
by Martin Turnbull
The dark days of Pearl Harbor loom over Los Angeles. America is at war, and posters warn Hollywoodites that loose lips sink ships. MGM screenwriter, Marcus Adler, needs to come up with a sure-fire hit, but he’s threatened by a vicious rumor: “Marcus Adler is a goddamned Commie.” After losing her job at the Cocoanut Grove, Gwendolyn Brick dreams of opening her own dress store. But will it be worth the trouble if it drags her back into the orbit of Bugsy Siegel? Hollywood Reporter columnist, Kathryn Massey, realizes her boss is gambling away his fortune—and her future. Could their very survival depend on a place nobody’s heard of called Las Vegas? In the city of searchlights, suspicions can lurk behind every shadow.
