Fallen Angels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798866198276)

On February 2, 1922, legendary movie director, William Desmond Taylor was found murdered in his Hollywood home. The media frenzy and findings that followed shook the core of Hollywood's elite. The life of this acclaimed director played out like a well-written whodunit script straight out of the films that Taylor directed. Blacky McCabe, an ex-marine and expert in protecting the studio from scandal and known as the "fixer" in the upper crust circles of Tinsel Town is hired to ensure that the tabloids and the media get the "right" story. Two suspects are Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter, both celebrities and both with a romantic interest in Taylor. Then there's Angelo Dragna, alleged boss of the West Coast drug business and one of Taylor's friends. Who killed Taylor? What killed Taylor-a jealous rage as a result of a love triangle or a drug lord seeking vengeance? Drugs and sex seem to be the elements, but only one man can cover it up and make it all go away-McCabe is determined to save Hollywood's fallen angels.
