A trench coat and a fedora don’t make a detective, and Connie Garrett couldn’t agree more.
She’s the co-founder of "Murder for Hire," an acting troupe that specializes in spoofing, not sleuthing. But when MFH performs at a sleepy coastal community’s mystery gala celebrating the life and works of a famous hard-boiled mystery author and the bodies start stacking up, Connie finds herself on the case whether she likes it or not. She becomes unwillingly committed to solving the murders while trying to keep both the show—and her love life—afloat.

Science Fiction & Fantasy

James A. Rock & Co., Publishers PresentS Advanced Praise for Shelly Frome's Tinsel Town Riff from Donald E. Westlake (“Edgar” winning author of The “Dortmunder” and “Parker” mysteries.); Peter Lefcourt (author of The Manhattan Beach Project); AND JOHN FUSCO ( Screenwriter of Young Guns, Thunderheart, Hidalgo, etc, etc., Author of Paradise Salvage. )

—Donald Westlake, “Edgar” winning author of The “Dortmunder” and “Parker” mysteries.: Tinseltown Riff is a twisty tale of quirky characters in a dangerous world of shadows and subterfuge, that company town called Los Angeles. Shelly Frome opens the door on a fascinating and all-too-real scene of hustle and hope. One lovely riff. —Donald Westlake, “Edgar” winning author of The “Dortmunder” and “Parker” mysteries.

—Peter Lefcourt, author of The Manhattan Beach Project: Shelly Frome's Tinseltown Riff is a kick—a funny, well-told, tale about the world’s most insane business.

 

Shelly Frome’s Tinseltown Riff takes us on a ride along the Hollywood fringe that is equal parts gritty intrigue and social comedy. In a subculture where get-rich-quick screenwriting workshops are a con and even the Santa Ana Winds can be an illusion, Frome’s characters are heartbreakingly real. Under this pulp fiction lurks an unsettling yet compelling truth about the Dream Factory and its high-risk allure.  —John Fusco, Screenwriter of Young Guns, Thunderheart, Hidalgo, etc, etc., Author of Paradise Salvage.
