Description

Hollywood loves a dead girl. She's always so photogenic.

Salma Lowe is the offspring of Hollywood royalty and a former child-star turned guide on a true crime bus tour. She understands better than anyone how Hollywood chews up and spits out starlets. Her own sister, Tawney, dubbed the Hurricane Blonde, was murdered in the mid-'90s, and the case remains unsolved. Salma herself has sworn off acting and just hopes to stay sober and out of trouble, until she discovers another dead woman with an uncanny resemblance to Tawney on the very property where her sister once lived and died.

Salma has to face the fact that a killer has struck again and with the police investigation going nowhere, she needs to plunge herself back into Los Angeles' seductive allure to find the culprit. But the search for the truth will take her deep into the rotten heart of Hollywood past and present, and into her family's dark secrets.
