May's Books








Lillian Frost was like so many other young woman who made the trip to Hollywood—she won a beauty pageant and a screen test. But she was no actress, and she knew it. She was happy with her sales job at a local department store—at least until her former roommate, Ruby Carroll, was found dead. Ruby, who was always working the angles, died wearing a gown stolen from the wardrobe department of Paramount Pictures, under the supervision of designer Edith Head.
This smart and stylish mystery teams Lillian and Edith Head up to investigate the murder, and includes a mysterious Hungarian princess, a hot shot director, and a crooked private eye. Cameo appearances from popular movie stars of the day, like Bob Hope and Barbara Stanwyck, add to the fun. Renee Patrick is the pen name of married authors Rosemarie and Vince Keenan.
