Synopsis

Ann Whitehead is sick of her job. She's a movie critic for a counterculture rag in Los Angeles and she needs a break badly. Instead of a break, she gets a murder. A woman dies in Ann's bathtub: the victim is a film school grad and industry hopeful. It's the kind of story Ann was born to write, but the disgraced LAPD detective leading the investigation is determined to stop her. The search for the killer turns into a search for the victim's missing script, the story of another woman murdered in 1944.
Suddenly there are two killers, and a complicated conspiracy spanning decades. Ann is smack in the middle and everyone she meets wants into the film business-whatever the price.
There's never been a thriller hitched as brilliantly to the new underbelly of Hollywood as this one. Helen Knode is a startling and original voice.

Revue de presse

PRAISE FOR THE TICKET OUT
"Helen Knode has written a first mystery that is highly literate, exceptionally action-packed and occasionally harrowing, and (best of all) insightful about films and the people who try to make them."-Chicago Tribune

"Old Hollywood collides with new Hollywood in Helen Knode's intricate and engaging first novel, The Ticket Out, and except for the mythic starlets, none of it is pretty. Which, of course, makes for delicious crime fiction."-The Kansas City Star
