November Book

The Pictures by Guy Bolton

cover of The Pictures by Guy Bolton

Los Angeles, 1939, Hollywood and the 'beautiful people' of the industry play a large part in the life of the city. Crime, and the shadowy characters who participate in it, as well as investigate it, also play a role. For Jonathan Craine, a Hollywood studio ‘fixer’, these two worlds have collided. This novel is described as a ‘star studded, deliciously dark noir’. Read or listen on BorrowBox
