博客來Murder, movie stars, and mystery await those who climb aboard this cross-country train, inspired by the real-life history of the Hollywood Victory Caravan
Hollywood, 1942. Jacqueline Love’s acting career is flailing. Suddenly on the wrong side of 40, parts are drying up, directors are calling her ＂difficult,＂ and Humphrey Bogart has definitely stopped taking her calls. Desperate to cling to stardom, Jackie takes the only gig that will have her: the Hollywood Victory Caravan, a train full of movie stars crossing the country to fundraise for the war effort. Jackie wouldn’t call herself patriotic, but with her life’s work on the line, she’ll do anything.
When a fellow star dies on board, everyone assumes the death was a tragic accident-but Jackie isn’t so sure. Stuck in Chicago’s Union Station, Jackie enlists the help of Grace, one of the few women in the police force, to investigate. But ＂difficult＂ outside of a movie set is dangerous, and when the pair fall into a homegrown Nazi scheme, Jackie must ask herself what’s more important: her career, or her country?
