The Enigma of Pyotr (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987965535)

In the aftermath of the Crash of '29, 'The Enigma of Pyotr' opens in the bankrupt Beverly Hills Hotel, where Pyotr Alexis Belanopek, a struggling screenwriter, embarks on a unique journey. Tasked with crafting a screenplay about World War I, Pyotr unwittingly finds himself writing his own life story. The narrative seamlessly intercuts between his script and the real lives of the hedonistic actors and actresses portraying his characters. Against the backdrop of Hollywood's glamor and the looming threat of the Nazis and World War II, the intricate dance between fiction and reality, personal history and the broader narrative of historical events, is a cliff hanging blend of screenwriting drama and contemporary intrigue.
