From the New York Times bestselling author and former James Bond novelist comes a 1940s and present-day Hollywood crime drama that tackles racism, sexism, and murder. Karissa Glover is a mixed-race movie producer who moves into a decrepit but functional old mansion in the West Adams Heights area of Los Angeles, where black celebrities of yesteryear—Hattie McDaniel, Louise Beavers, and others—once resided. The former owner was a white actress, Blair Kendrick, who often starred as the femme fatale in films noir of the 1940s. Blair allegedly shot and killed the studio head in 1949 and then disappeared. As Karissa and her producing partner decide to develop a modern film noir about Blair Kendrick, malevolent forces from the past attempt to stop them—first with intimidation, and then attempted murder. The story unravels between the present-day and the 1940s narrative—with the latter presenting Blair’s story in the form of Karissa’s crime thriller film. As Blair’s Hollywood star shines, she fights against sexual harassment from sexist movie moguls—and when she falls for the black jazz musician Hank Marley, their then-taboo relationship begins to jeopardize her standing with the fixers and studio bigwigs . . . Full of mystery, intrigue, Hollywood history, and social commentary on the racial divide in Tinsel Town, Blues in the Dark is Raymond Benson at his insightful and page-turning best.
