Book Description:
Los Angeles writer Cece Caruso is thrilled that her biography of the legendary Dashiell Hammett is headed for the big screen. Even better, she's been hired to tutor Rafe Simic, the actor cast as the lead. Okay, so he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. At least he's easy on the eyes, and the money's good enough to feed Cece's addiction to vintage Yves St. Laurent.
But in the midst of her teaching him the ABCs of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, the body of a woman is discovered and Rafe's picture is found among her effects. The woman was an old flame, and the facts -- and Rafe's alibi -- just don't add up. Cece, who makes her living getting into the minds of mystery writers, can't help but ask questions.
In a tale of thrills, suspense, and surprising twists that would confound even the best P.I., Cece sets out to find justice for the dead woman, even if it means pulling the plug on the movie -- assuming someone doesn't pull the plug on Cece first.

Ilene H. (Los Angles writer Cece Caruso is thrilled that her biography of the legendary Dashiell Hammett is headed for the big screen. Rafe Simic, the actor cast as the lead, may not be the sharpest knige in the drawer, but the money she'll make tutoring him in the ABC's of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man should be good enough to feed Cece addiction of vibtage Yves St. Laurent.
But when the dead body of one of Rafe's old flames is discovered--and neither the "facts" nor the hunky star's alibi add up--Cece can't help but ask questions. However, the twists in this case would confound Sam Spade Himself. And in her zeal to win justice for the deceased, Cece might end up pulling the plug on the movie--if someone doesn't pull the plug on Cece First
Stephanie C. (I LOVE Susan Kandel's Cece Caruso mysteries. The plot always ends up taking a thousand twists and turns so you never see what's coming, but at the end it always makes sense and ties up beautifully. I also love the descriptions of California, Cece's vintage clothing, food and the mystery writers she writes about. In this book (the third in the series) a film titled Dash! is being filmed, based on Cece's biography of mystery writer Dashiell Hammett (The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man.) Cece's been hired to educate the actor on portraying him, but it doesn't take long before a mysterious death pulls her in many different directions. This has become one of my favorite mystery series, and I highly recommend it!
