New York City has dried up for Jocelyn €œJosh€ O€Roarke. Her career on the stage has stalled. Her relationship with NYPD lieutenant Phillip Gerrard is through. She needs a way out, and a supporting role in a Hollywood TV movie seems like just the thing. But once on the West Coast, she discovers that her role is to support washed-up child star Ginger Jellicoe€s comeback attempt. When Buddy Banks, the production€s photography director and Ginger€s surrogate father, is murdered in a darkroom, Josh is pressed once again to put her sleuthing skills to use.

 

With the help of dashing LAPD detective Dwayne Hamill, Josh races to clear Ginger€s name while keeping the former child star from becoming the killer€s next victim.

 

Dead Pan is the fourth book in the Jocelyn O€Roarke mystery series, which begins with Murder on Cue and First Hit of the Season.
