About this book

Set in 1933 during the Great Depression, this novel follows Frankie Donnelly, a skilled publicist working as a "fixer" at RCO Studios under Nico Marconi. Movies serve as an escape for the country, though Hollywood conceals many truths behind its glamorous facade. Frankie's current assignment involves managing publicity for the upcoming marriage of Hollywood stars Jack Sawyer and June Finney, a union that millions of fans eagerly anticipate. However, Frankie knows the marriage is actually a cover for the couple's serious secrets. When a murder takes place, the situation unravels. Tabloids sensationalize the crime, the public reacts with shock, and hidden layers of scandal and deception emerge. Frankie must decide which Hollywood figures to protect and which to expose, all while the country looks to the entertainment industry for a reassuring happy ending.
