The former owner was a white actress, Blair Kendrick, who often starred as the 'bad girl'--a femme fatale--in films noir of the 1940s. However, Blair's career was cut short when she was tragically killed by the mob after allegedly witnessing the slaying of a corrupt studio head in 1949. As Karissa and her producing partner decide to develop a modern film noir about Blair Kendrick, malevolent forces from the past attempt to stop them--first with intimidation, and then with the thread of murder. Is this because Karissa has learned that Blair was involved in a then-taboo interracial relationship with jazz musician Hank Marley? What really happened on the night that death struck in a dimly lit studio mogul's office? The consequences of Blair and Hank's doomed love affair still resonate in the present day as Karissa attempts to unravel Blair's secrets."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women motion picture producers and directors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interracial dating $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013339.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023704.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062019.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200104011204.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191113010158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44DF643405E311EA936CF50A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
