Book by Whitfield Raoul

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In 1931 Raoul Whitfield was one of the highest-paid writers in Hollywood when he wrote this atmospheric mystery about a murder at a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Talk about murder in plain sight with plenty of witnesses! Ben Jardinn, studio lawyer, doesn't know much about music but he knows he doesn't like it when the conductor is bumped off before the first big song. Before long he might find himself the target of the Hollywood Bowl Murderer. Soon after writing Death in a Bowl, Whitfield and his socialite wife built a ranch in the high deserts of Las Vegas NM where they threw lavish and notorious parties for jet-setters from Hollywood and around the globe. But the festivities came to an abrupt end when Whitfield's wife was either murdered or committed suicide. The mystery author became the mystery. Publisher Fender Tucker tells you all about it in his introduction.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The maestro steps to the podium, a plane flies overhead, the stage lights go down, and when they come up moments later the conductor has been shot--murdered by unknown gunmen in front of twenty thousand witnesses on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl. And before the event, detective Ben Jardinn had been approached by two of the prime suspects, to prove their innocence. But, can he solve the murder when there is no one he can trust, not even the members of his own agency? In Death in a Bowl, Raoul Whitfield, drinking companion of Dashiell Hammett and fellow Black Mask author, gives us a story of greed and betrayal set against the backdrop of Hollywood in the late twenties.
