  In Hollywood, every pavement star tells a story. Not all of them shine. 
  Wannabe actor Kyle Macdonald is down on his luck. Working as a supply teacher in an inner-city Birmingham school, he's single again at 28 and sleeping in his childhood bedroom beneath a 'Hard Candy' Madonna poster. 
  He gets a call claiming he drunkenly married top Hollywood director Aaron Biedermeier in Vegas six years ago. Rather than panic, he sees a golden ticket to fame and the life he's always fantasised about. 
  But the glamorous veneer of Los Angeles – non-stop sunshine, celebrity actors and exclusive hotel suites - starts to crack, revealing a darker, corrupt underbelly to La-La Land. Kyle digs deeper into his so-called husband's past, unearthing disturbing allegations of abuse and underage sex parties. With the help of Biedermeier's fiancé, actor Noah Winters, he embarks on a cross-country race to unravel the mystery and expose the truth – finding love along the way.

  "A head-snapping dive into a twisted and sexy tale of ambition, revenge and murder set against a sun-bleached tear-stained postcard sent postage-due from the heart of Hollywood Babylon."  
  Josh Lanyon 
  "Fanning's prose and dialogue are crisp, brisk, and incisive, and the characterisation is strong."

  The Perfect Crime

  The first in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins is the world’s first locked-room mystery, a seemingly impossible crime story as powerful as any that have copied the scenario since. 
  “The Detective Story Club”, launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers. 
  Originally published as The Big Bow Mystery in 1891, and re-published by the Detective Club to coincide with a new film version called ‘The Perfect Crime’, Israel Zangwill’s novel invented the concept of the ‘locked room mystery’ and influenced almost every crime writer thereafter. 
  ‘A man is murdered for no apparent reason. He has no enemies and there seemed to be no motive for anyone murdering him. No clues remained and the instrument with which the murder was committed could not be traced. The door of the room in which the body was discovered was locked and bolted on the inside, both windows were latched, and there was no trace of any intruder. The greatest detectives in the land were puzzled. Here indeed was the perfect crime, the work of a master mind. Can you solve the problem which baffled Scotland Yard for so long, until at last the missing link in the chain of evidence was revealed?’ 
  This new edition includes a brand new introduction by the Golden Age crime expert, Dr John Curran, author of ‘Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks’. 
  As a top fiction, The Perfect Crime offers a riveting narrative that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last. The mystery of the locked room and the seemingly perfect crime will challenge your detective skills, as you try to solve the puzzle that baffled Scotland Yard. 
  For fans of Margery Allingham (More Work for the Undertaker), Leslie S. Klinger (The Beetle), Ellery Queen (The Adventures of Ellery Queen), Kate Gingold (Agatha Annotated), and Meg Hafdahl (Her Dark Inheritance).

  Don't miss the gripping new historical thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Ashes of London, perfect for fans of CJ Sansom, Robert Harris and Hilary Mantel 
  England, 1688 
  King James II finally has an heir – but not all are rejoicing. Protestant bishops have been sent to the tower, strange symbols are appearing on the streets of London and rumblings of dissent are whispered throughout the city. 
  Amidst the turmoil, Secretary James Marwood has been living a quiet life. But his peace is broken when a figure from the past emerges with a dangerous proposition. Change is coming, and Marwood needs an ally if he is to retain his position at Whitehall. So, reluctantly, he agrees to investigate an apparent suicide. 
  The man’s death is soon revealed to be a murder, and his past yields suspicious connections.

Marwood’s investigation leads him to uncover a deadly and treasonous conspiracy, one that threatens the crown and the stability of the nation.Praise for Andrew Taylor
