Hollywood was a land of illusions, and Veronica Blair was the master magician.

Hollywood, California, 1968:
Jennifer Blair returns to her hometown of Hollywood, determined to find her mother’s killer. Veronica Blair, a movie studio publicist, had been murdered twenty years before during a dinner party at mogul Chase Carlton’s mansion. The crime went unsolved, even though just five other guests and the kitchen staff had attended the party. An open window yielded the only clue, suggesting an unknown assailant who was never identified.

Jennifer enlists the aid of private detective Clay Kirk, a man with flaws he’s fighting to fix. He specializes in divorce cases—catching cheating spouses in compromising situations—but he’s determined to help Jennifer solve her mother’s murder, regardless of the personal sacrifices he makes to do it.

They start the investigation fresh, interviewing the original suspects, sorting through Veronica Blair’s personal files to find them filled with gossip and innuendos—many of which are motives for murder. When a Mafia henchman is thrown into the mix, Jennifer and Clay find what they least expected—an investigation with more twists and turns than suspects.
