Synopsis

Family saga, budding romance, the dawn of the Hollywood star system, a lively murder mystery—all in one swell book. With his twin brother Warren embarked on the last and surprisingly successful leg of his Hollywood career, Wally Kerrigan takes a management job with the production company of his old friend Mary Pickford. Evidence of a secret society of orgiasts named “Voluptuaries” begins to surface, which deeply concerns Mary, since her dissolute brother Jack Pickford appears to among its most satisfied clients. Wally is asked to investigate, and soon finds himself mired in prostitution, drugs, blackmail, and murder. But a series of personal tragedies, including the deaths of his father-in-law and his mother, a deteriorating marriage, and the loss of his daughter, threaten to overwhelm him. He must renew his strength with the help of jewelry entrepeneur Pearl Seagrove in order to expose the arrogant genius behind Voluptuaries.This is the second outing for amateur sleuths Wallace Kerrigan and Pearl Seagrove.
