Lost and Foundling (The Hollywood Detective Book 2)

Immerse yourself in the glamorous world of 1930s Hollywood

Fading movie star Elisabeth Clay had been hoping to adopt a baby from a Los Angeles orphanage. But when she returns to Hollywood after filming on location, she discovers her beautiful baby girl has disappeared.

Elisabeth turns to the city€s finest detective agency€"Spencer McCoy and Associates€"for help. There€s just one problem: Spencer McCoy is in jail and the associate in question has only been in the detective business for a little over a week.

Can feisty Rose Randall beat the odds and find Elisabeth€s baby? Can she also figure out a way to get her boss out of jail? One thing€s for sure, she€s certainly going to give it everything she€s got.

Join Rose as she blisters through 1930s Tinseltown in a light-hearted caper that features plenty of glamor, heaps of adventure and more than a hint of romance.

Praise for The Hollywood Detective:

€œPeopled with a cast of fast-talking dames and wise-cracking dudes this is a compelling whodunnit in its own right but also a glorious pastiche of the kind of movies that Dick Powell and Myrna Loy might have made in a parallel universe.€


€œIf you like Chandler, Perry Mason, Chinatown€¦ then you will love The Hollywood Detective. Spencer McCoy is the private investigator who likes courting women and catching waves in between trying to solve mysteries. Predictably, for this style of thriller set in the height of the Hollywood film era, it€s Spencer€s female assistant who has the brains.€

€œBrilliant setting with engaging central characters. The story rips along. It€s funny and tense by turns.€

THE HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE SERIES

Set during the Golden Age of Hollywood, The Hollywood Detective is a classic mystery series featuring Spencer McCoy, a handsome private investigator with a reputation for getting to the truth. In a city ruled by powerful studio bosses and plagued by corrupt cops, it takes a decent man like McCoy to deliver justice.

In this second book in the series, Spencer€s new secretary€"though she€d much rather you called her his associate€"Rose Randall takes center stage. Rose is smart, peppy and streetwise, and the more we find out about her, the more we realize just how much she has something to prove.

Fans of Howard Hawks movies like His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby will enjoy watching the sparks fly as Rose and Spencer get each other in€"and out€"of trouble.
