With settings from the sun-drenched, illusion-filled film sets of 1970s Hollywood to the quiet, storied halls of 1990s Paris, these stories prove that the truth is often buried beneath layers of deception. Originally written in 1973 by Michael Crichton, this newly recovered Hollywood mystery thriller plunges readers into the glitz and decadence of the 1970s film industry. The investigation spans scorching desert film sets and seedy motel bars, exposing the cast and crew's darkest secrets. With everyone harboring hidden motives, the case quickly spirals into a dizzying maze of deception and false leads. Prowl by Colleen Coble is a gripping suspense novel with some romance, and it has a theme of not allowing the past to define a person.
