The Fame Thief
In the Hollywood of 1950, Dolores La Marr was on the verge of movie stardom, named “The most beautiful woman in the world.” And then, in a single day, her career was savagely and maliciously destroyed. But why, and by whom?
Now, sixty years later, elderly mob boss Irwin Dressler wants to know the answers to those questions—and, although he won’t tell Junior why, there’s no doubt it’s personal. As the mystery deepens and the body count rises, it becomes clear that some grudges just get deadlier with age.
