About This Book

A restless investigator becomes embroiled in a suspenseful pursuit after gruesome typewritten tableaux are found among film studio scripts, signaling a calculating killer. The narrative traces the detective's efforts to link anonymous manuscripts to a campaign of murders, using studio insiders, cryptic marks, and subterranean caverns as clues. Episodes move through arranged traps, narrow escapes, and revelations at a tower and a cavern of bones, interweaving investigative procedure with theatrical settings. The story concludes with the antagonist unmasked and the missing woman's fate resolved.
