A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hal Harrison and his orchestra The Harmony Men were one of the hottest new bands in the country. Their two night stand at the Crystal Gardens in San Francisco was going to be the biggest thing to hit that city in years. But when threats turn into reality during the first show when a rival band-leader is killed on stage in front of the entire audience the band seems headed for disaster unless Hal can prove he’s innocent by finding the real killer aided by socialite Joan Paxton. Sudden Silence is a mystery in the tradition of the great 1930’s movies like The Thin Man, full of murder, music, and romance and punctuated with witty banter. The author, Cortland Fitzsimmons, wrote over a dozen mystery novels during the 30’s, a number of which were later turned into movies.

Biographie de l'auteur :

After attending New York University and The City College of New York, he worked for some time as a salesman for several book distributors and publishers before turning to writing full time in 1934. Most of his works as a writer were mysteries, a number of which were based on sports themes such as 70,000 Witnesses: A Football Mystery, Crimson Ice: A Hockey Mystery, and Death on a Diamond: A Baseball Mystery. A number of his novels were made into films and he moved to Los Angeles to work as a screenwriter. His last book was a cookbook that he co- wrote with his wife Muriel Simpson You Can Cook If You Can Read.
