Synopsis

Pucci Lewis was used to ferrying fighter planes and undercover work. But in the dark hours of World War II, she is dispatched to Hollywood, where big stars and studio moguls are working with Washington to merge entertainment and propaganda. A documentary on the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) is underway, and Pucci is stepping in for a sister WASP who has been hospitalized after her plane was sabotaged. When a bigname director dies, possibly murdered by Nazi operatives, military intelligence asks Pucci to learn what she can from the inside. She has her suspicions about the socalled housekeeper of Bela Lugosi, a rising starlet with a history with the Hungarian resistance, but Pucci doesnt trust the girl. Pucci will have to maneuver through movieland and its narcissistic denizens to find the truth.

Goodreads review by Melissa

I picked up this book on the new fiction shelf on a whim. It wasn't a bad book, there were some grammar problems, but I thought the plot was good.
