NOVELLA DESCRIPTION
Actors and crew on the set of the new TV series are anxious as they prepare to begin filming. Somewhere off camera, in a quiet spot, a killer strikes.
Hollywood, 1957. A girl turns 21 only once, you know? And when a friend of Gillian Raye's aunt, the producer of the upcoming Perry Mason series, invites her to celebrate her birthday on the set of "The Case of the Fan Dancer's Horse," how can she refuse?
Gillian and her aunt are in town for a whirlwind week of sightseeing with some business on the side. Filming for the first season of the series hasn't started yet, and the crew is running behind schedule. But the birthday bash in her honor won't take much time.
However, the discovery of a body behind the scenes brings everything screeching to a halt. Enter the LAPD Homicide Division and a handsome hazel-eyed detective.
While everyone waits to be questioned by officers, Gillian sees an opportunity. She's saving up to find an apartment upon returning home to Ohio, so she manages to snag a temporary gig as the crew's gofer.
Gillian has already made two friends, and the women seem quite curious. Despite Sgt. Carson's warnings, asking questions seems to come naturally, and their digging around for answers uncovers a vital clue. But can the police solve the murder before Gillian and her friends end up in the crosshairs of a killer?
Readers who look for cozy mystery novels with rascally cats and strong women characters like Flora Steele or Lady Hardcastle and Florence, are sure to enjoy following the adventures of amateur sleuth Gillian and her friends.
