based on a true story...


The Song is You
· Abbott, Megan E.
Historical Hard-Boiled
Summary: In 1949, a beautiful Hollywood starlet and mother of a five-year-old, Jean Spangler, heads to a nighttime film shoot … but she never makes it there. Jean, who has the kind of smile that makes you smile back even if you have a splitting headache, is never seen again — except by her presumed killer. Gil "Hop" Hopkins, a journalist turned publicity flack who'd briefly known Jean, finds himself investigating her disappearance two years later. If you're a fan of James Ellroy's The Black Dahlia, you'll want to pick up The Song Is You, which is set in the same time and place.
