For more than eighty years, the famous unsolved murder of William Desmond Taylor, the legendary bisexual film director, has generated debate and controversy. Now, best-selling author Charles Higham has solved the crime. Higham uncovers the corruption and intrigue of Los Angeles in the Roaring Twenties—and the film industry moguls’ complete domination of the city’s authorities. When it was discovered that a famous star of the day had probably killed Taylor, a massive cover-up began—from the removal of crucial evidence to the naming of innocent people as killers—which has continued until now to protect the truth. Murder in Hollywood goes beyond the killing to unearth unknown details about the life of Taylor before his arrival in Hollywood, as well as the stories and histories buried by the crooked authorities and criminals involved the case. The author’s exclusive interviews with the culpable star, his unique possession of long-vanished police records, and the support of the present-day Los Angeles county coroner—who examined the evidence as if the murder had taken place now—have ensured a hair-raising thriller. Charles Higham successfully presents the most plausible and convincing solution yet to the mystery. In the process he paints a vivid portrait of Hollywood in the 1920s—from its major stars to its bisexual subculture. The result is a compelling answer to a long-standing mystery and a fascinating study of a place, and an industry that, as today, let people reinvent themselves. Murder in Hollywood is more extraordinary than any crime of fiction and more exciting than any action adventure movie.

WWII is over and Joe Bernardi has just returned home after three years as a war correspondent in Europe. Married in the heat of passion three weeks before he shipped out, he has come home to find his wife Lydia is a complete stranger. It's not long before Lydia's off to Reno for a quikie divorce which Joe won't accept. Meanwhile he's been hired as a publicist by third-rate movie studio, Continental pictures. One night he enters a darkened sound stage only to discover the dead body of ambitious would-be actress Maggie Baumann. When the police investigate, they immediately zero in on Joe as the perp. Short on evidence they attempt to frame him and almost succeed. Desperate to clear himself and uncover the identity of the actual killer, Joe enlists the help of Russ Parmelee, the studio's chief of security. There's no shortage of suspects: ...May Britton, over the hill actress trying to make a comeback ...Brick Baxter, whose brief career as a leading man is being threatened by the return of real stars like Gable and Power and Stewart. ...Kingman Krug, a hack director who would rather be helming his next epic film instead of this movie trash. ...Dave Clancy who claims to be a reporter from Chicago but is someone else altogether. ...Leo Blaustein, studio hatchetman who may have been keeping Maggie in a plush apartment. ...Al Kaplan, an ex husband still carrying a red-hot torch. ...Sal Maggio, a man of many interests, most of them illegal who has a highly personal reason for wanting this film to succeed. The story moves headlong toward an exciting and unexpected ending, weaving it's way through a web of blackmail, betrayal and extortion.

This is Hollywood, 1948. You are a beautiful young actress. He is a ruthless and powerful film producer. He can make you a star or send you back to the sticks, and you have something he wants, right now. What are you willing to do? How much of yourself are you willing to give?"What's a Poor Girl to Do" is the new edition of my previously released book "Pamela Carr." The new title and cover better indicate the nature of the characters, and the time and place of the story. "Poor Girl" is a stand-alone book that shares a couple of characters with and briefly refers to my previous Hollywood murder mystery, "Lily Torrence." It is set at the end of World War II in Germany, New York and Hollywood. Though there are a couple of deaths, a sleuth, some tough cops and lying suspects, this is not so much a murder mystery as a catalogue of deadly sins, particularly lust, ambition, and arrogance, all of which are most especially seen in the pattern of abuse and denial that we now call #metoo, and that in 1948 they called business as usual.The year is 1947. Priscilla Preston and her husband Ken are struggling New York actors when Priscilla is picked as the lead in a new picture for Blackwell Studios. Morton Blackwell is the obsessive, despotic, charming monster who tries to control every aspect of his movies and everyone around him. Anna Andrzejewski (pron. Ahn-jrey-evski) is a recent immigrant from the ashes of bombed-out Berlin trying to succeed in a Hollywood that may not be ready to accept a blonde, Nordic beauty with a complicated past. Screenwriter/mystery author Lyman becomes involved in the lives and problems of both Priscilla and Anna while he tries to find a reason to live after the death of this wife. Morton takes Priscilla to Hollywood, changes her name to Pamela Carr, and makes her his lover. While pursuing this adulterous affair, Mort has her starring in his new movie "Angeline" about a virginal 16th Century Italian nun. Husband Kenny Preston is upset and troublesome about the loss of his wife until he conveniently dies from an overdose of booze and pills. But was it an accident, a suicide, or perhaps something else? Anna is just getting started at Blackwell Studios when Morton turns an interview into an attempted rape. Anna's bind: how can she punish him when he controls her future and no one else cares? When a story appears in the tabloid "Star" hinting that Mort was involved in the death of Ken Preston the same night that he raped Anna, she lies to incriminate him in the death, knowing that his only true alibi is to admit his assault on her. The source of the story is unknown, but it is not Anna, who finally admits the truth to Lyman and the police. Morton is questioned by the police and admits the rape. This gets him off the hook for Ken's death. He is not prosecuted for the rape.Life goes on. Lyman gets a new screenwriting job. "Angeline" is completed and Pamela is determined that her affair with Morton is over, but he is not easily put off. Anna meets Marlene Dietrich, who introduces her to a group of Hollywood women who are also victims of the town's rampant sexual predators. "Angeline" and Pamela are nominated for Oscars. Mort's studio is saved, Anna gets a satisfactory revenge on Mort, and Lyman belatedly realizes who killed Kenny Preston.

Joe finds himself in Quebec but it’s no vacation. Alfred Hitchcock is shooting a suspenseful thriller called “I Confess” and Montgomery Clift is playing a priest accused of murder. A marriage made in heaven? Hardly. They have been at loggerheads since Day One and to make matters worse their feud is spilling out into the newspapers. When vivacious Jeanne d’Arcy, the director of the Quebec Film Commission volunteers to help calm the troubled waters, Joe thinks his troubles are over but that was before Jeanne got into a violent spat with a former lover and suddenly found herself under arrest on a charge of first degree murder. Guilty or not guilty? Half the clues say she did it, the other half say she is being brilliantly framed. But by who? Fingers point to the crooked Gonsalvo brothers who have ties to the Buffalo mafia family and when Joe gets too close to the truth, someone tries to shut him up...permanently. With the Archbishop threatening to shut down the production in the wake of the scandal, Joe finds himself torn between two loyalties.
