If you like Ray Bradbury, this is, acording to the Pittsburh Post Gazette - "A ghostlhy tale of murder and old Hollywood - written in Bradbury's breathless and unbeatable prose... not your usual mystery."
The story summation is as follows: "On a dismal evening in the previous century, an unnamed writed in Venice , CA answers a furious pounding at his beachfront bungalow door and again admits Constance Rattigan into his life. An aging, once glamourous Hollywood star, Constance is running in fear from something she dares not acknowledge and vanishes as suddenly as she appeared, leaving the narrator two macabre books: twin listings of the Tinseltown dead and soon to be dead with Constance's name included among them. And so begins an odyssey as dark as it is wondrous, as the writer sets off in a broken down jalopy with his sidekick Crumley to sift through the ashes of a bygone Hollywood, a graveyard of ghosts and secrets where each twisted road leads to grim shrines and shattered dreams, and, all too often, to death."
