November, 1924. Beautiful silent-movie star Camille de la Rose - Kitty, to her adoring fans - is amused to receive an unusual proposal from an extremely rich stranger. Clark Dexter offers her $50,000 if she will marry and then divorce him. Young British widow Emma Blackstone, Kitty's dog walker, companion, and dearest friend, is determined to talk her employer out of it. Emma might have been living in the topsy-turvy world of Hollywood for a year now, but she knows a bad idea when she hears one. There are disturbing rumours about Mr Dexter. And when the source of the rumours is found dead in mysterious circumstances, Emma soon finds herself plunged into a disturbing investigation that sees her mixing with New York's high society, mobsters and movie stars - and a ruthless killer, who'll stop at nothing to see their evil plan through.
