Norma has been working on the secret film everyone is openly talking about...a terrifying horror picture called 'The Devil's Playground' that is rumored to have unleashed a curse on everyone involved in the production. Mary finds Norma's cold, dead body, and she wonders for just a moment if these dark rumors could be true. 1967: Paul Conway, a journalist and self-professed film aficionado, is on the trail of a tantalizing rumor. He has heard that a single copy of The Devil's Playground--a Holy Grail for film buffs--may exist. He knows his Hollywood history and he knows the film endured myriad tragedies and ended up lost to time. The Devil's Playground is Craig Russell's tour de force, a richly researched and constructed thriller that weaves through the Golden Age of Hollywood and reveals a blossoming industry built on secrets, invented identities, and a desperate pursuit of image. As Mary Rourke charges headlong through the egos, distractions, and traps that threaten to take her down with the doomed production, she discovers a truth far more sinister than she--or we--would imagine. This is Craig Russell's strongest novel to date, and one that will resonate with American readers"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Russell Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked out 05/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Russell Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult New Books Russell Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
