Babes in Tinseltown: A Mystery of Hollywood’s Golden Age

Frankie Foster is the sheltered daughter of a proper Southern lady and a prominent judge, but she really wants to be a movie star. In spite of her family's misgivings, she boards a train and heads for Hollywood in search of fame and fortune. Frankie eventually finds work at Monumental Pictures as an extra in a swashbuckling costume picture. Unfortunately, her career threatens to be short-lived when producer Arthur Cohen staggers onto the soundstage in an apparent drunken rage and drops dead at her feet. The police dismiss the death as a heart attack, but then, they don't know about the quarrel Frankie heard between the producer and his brother/partner. With filming suspended indefinitely, Frankie must discover the truth if she is to save the picture and her fledgling career. "Sheri Cobb South has a witty and refreshingly original voice.
