Shot with Crimson
A murderer stalks the set of Hitchcock's film of Rebecca, bent on revenge, in this smart, cosy mystery.
A murderer stalks the set of Hitchcock's film of Rebecca, bent on revenge, in this smart, cosy mystery.
September, 1939, and the worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood, where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca.
Then a shocking act of violence reawakens the shadows of the past, with consequences on both sides of the Atlantic. Josephine and DCI Archie Penrose find themselves on a trail leading back to the house that inspired a young Daphne du Maurierβa trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession, jealousy, and murder.
