Murder at the Fortnight: The Pentangeli Papers Vol #1 (Pentangeli Papers series) - Softcover
This darkly hilarious tale of murder and mayhem set squarely under the bright lights of the show business world introduces Stella Pentangeli, "Lady Showbiz Detective," and Inspector Ng, a taciturn Chinese cop. The story explores the themes of winning, losing, and recovering fame and the relevance of traditional theater in the 21st century. The dialogue is snappy, the characters outrageous, and the story suspenseful. The cast of characters includes debauched stars, sleazy execs, brain-fried actors, and drunken playwrights.
