About the Book: In 1956 Malibu, blacklisted starlet Melanie Cole lives an isolated life with few connections beyond her reclusive neighbor Elwood and quiet housekeeper Eva. When Elwood’s caretaking sister-in-law is seen digging in his garden and he vanishes entirely, Melanie and Eva investigate his disappearance, uncovering secrets among all three women that forge an uneasy alliance. As they fight to hold onto what little they have, one spark threatens to unravel everything. A tense, atmospheric mystery set against 1950s Hollywood paranoia and blacklisting.
