𝐀 𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 is a clever, twist-filled whodunit that transports readers to the glitz and glamour of 1970s Hollywood and into the life of Harvey Jason, publicist for the Western film 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘬, whose world is suddenly turned upside down when the movie’s screenwriter is found dead in his hotel room, and determined to keep the production on track unexpectedly finds himself assisting the brilliant investigator Harlow Perkins to meticulously unravel the murder.
