<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>From critically acclaimed author Donis Casey comes the first in a vintage Hollywood mystery series! When a string of baffling clues leads to 1920s film star Bianca LaBelle, it looks like her dark secrets have finally come back to haunt her. Because the only thing worth more than wealth and fame is revenge...</strong></p><p>Blanche Tucker longs to escape her drop-dead dull life in tiny Boynton, Oklahoma. Then a suave film producer roars into town. Graham Peyton is Blanche's ticket out of town--he can offer her a life of stardom in Beverly Hills. But the sleezy producer's offer is too good to be true, and once they get to California Blanche finds herself sold to a dangerous man. But she's determined to make a new life for herself, whatever the cost...</p><p>Six years later, Blanche has transformed into Bianca LaBelle, the reclusive and beloved film star. But when a private detective visits Bianca's mansion to ask her about remains found on a Santa Monica beach, it seems her shiny new life is going up in smoke. Peyton was murdered, and as this movie star mystery heats up, suspicion falls on the enigmatic Bianca. Did she make him pay for her private wrongs? With all of the twists and turns of a 1920s film, <em>The Wrong Girl</em> follows the daring exploits of a girl who chases her dream from the farm to old Hollywood, while showing just how risky--and rewarding--it can be to go off script.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is the first in an excellent new series by Donis Casey... Highly recommended." - <strong><em> Historical Novel Society</em></strong><br><br>"With this new series launch, Casey ("Alafair Tucker" mysteries) performs a little genre-bending, penning a coming-of-age tale within the context of a 1920s-set cozy mystery that could just as easily been ripped from today's headlines. VERDICT Old Hollywood, silent film stars, the Jazz Age, and strong female characters all combine to create a solid read for crime fiction fans of all stripes." - <strong><em> Library Journal</em></strong><br><br>"Casey plays up the melodrama and delivers a silent-movie feel to the story...shocking and amusing by turns, The <i>Wrong Girl</i> starts a new series with great promise. " - <strong><em> Booklist, STARRED review</em></strong><br><br>"Casey's portrait of how stars were born and kept their status during Hollywood's silent era will intrigue film buffs. " - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly</em></strong><br><br>"With both wit and her trademark warmth, Casey serves up the story of Bianca, the eighth child of Alafair Tucker, who flees her native Oklahoma for glamorous Hollywood in the 1920s. Clever, resilient, and agile, Bianca makes her way into films, but en route she meets a broad cast of characters, including a sleazy villain and a group of spirited, quirky women, all deftly drawn. The reader is transported to the 1920s Southwest, both seedy and sparkly, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable ride!" - <strong><em> Karen Odden, author of A Lady in the Smoke and A Dangerous Duet</em></strong><br>
