'Quick's ambitious novel, set during the golden age of Hollywood, sparkles with wit and clever plotting' Publishers Weekly

'Glamorous' HELLO!

Return to 1930s Burning Cove, California, the glamorous seaside playground for Hollywood stars, mobsters, spies, and a host of others who find more than they bargain for in this mysterious town.

Maggie Lodge, assistant to Aunt Cornelia - a reclusive advice columnist - is desperate; her employer is being blackmailed, and she's determined to find the culprit. Her only choice? Private eye Sam Sage.

The pair soon get into verbal fireworks - Sam thinks Maggie is in over her head, and Maggie thinks Sam needs to get his life in order. Yet beneath the tension, a fierce attraction is simmering, one Maggie is determined to resist. She has dark secrets of her own, ones she must hide at all costs.

For Maggie is troubled by dreams - dreams so vivid they almost seem real. She knows she must keep her visions a closely guarded secret, or risk being committed to an asylum. But when the pair discovers someone is impersonating Aunt Cornelia - and a woman is found dead - the door is opened to a dangerous web of blackmail and murder. Maggie and Sam must work together to find a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to exact vengeance...
