Welcome to Hollywood of the 1920s: a world filled with glamour, fake names . . . and the occasional felony! July, 1924. After nine months of living in Hollywood and working as a companion to her beautiful silent-movie star sister-in-law, young British widow Emma Blackstone is settling into her new role: doctoring film scenarios whenever the regular scenarist is overwhelmed with work, which seems to be most of the time. Shoots for the Western movie Our Tiny Miracle are in full swing, with little seven-year-old Susy Sweetchild playing the lead and acting most professionally. Maybe too professionally, Emma thinks, shocked to the core when the child star is nearly killed in a stunt scene and her mother - former screen siren Selina Sutton - seems only to care that Susy gets the job done. But Emma's concerns only worsen when news reaches her that Susy and her mother have been kidnapped. The ransom note says to keep the cops out of it, so it's up to Emma and Kitty to find them before the unthinkable happens and Emma is forced to rewrite Our Tiny Miracle with a far more tragic ending . . . New York Times bestselling author Barbara Hambly once again brings the glamour and intrigue of Hollywood to life! An unputdownable mystery for fans of female-fronted historical mysteries set in the roaring twenties.

We are conditioned to believe what is visible is more important than the invisible, we couldn't be more deceived; the visible world is less than one percent of our reality. In everyday life, there are creatures we cannot see, demons hiding all around us, in an invisible realm. Humanity lies at the center of an interdimensional conflict as old as time. On one side stand the demons of the great void, corrupting, harvesting, and feeding on human souls. Arrayed against the darkness are the illumine races, beings of light residing in the eleventh dimension. Everyone on earth has a stake in this war. Knowingly or not, no one stays neutral. Humanity's every act shifts the balance in this unending struggle, pushing further into the light—or pulling back into the darkness. In the midst of a messy divorce, Deidre Kollister discovers her sacred role in this hidden, vicious conflict. A sonic warrior of light, Deidre is one of twelve souls who agreed on a perilous mission before birth: to prevent the upcoming soul harvest, a terrible event set to begin with an ancient celestial sign. Twelve extraordinary people stand against a legion of interdimensional demons. The odds are stacked against Deidre and her new allies. If they succeed, the world may finally find peace. If they fail, the ancient war will end with a demonic feeding frenzy and humanity's eternal enslavement.

USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner follows up her acclaimed thrillers The Givenchy Code and The Manolo Matrix with a whip-smart new adventure in code-breaking -- Hollywood-style! Devi Taylor was one of Hollywood's fastest-rising starlets -- until a crazed fan held her at knifepoint and she retreated to a life of privacy and Valium. Now recovered and ready for a comeback, Devi dreams of endorsing all things Prada, whose Rodeo Drive store she can't resist. Instead, she lands the starring role in The Givenchy Code, a high-budget action-adventure flick. But with the tabloids all over Givenchy and her recent split with her drop-dead handsome costar, Blake, Devi can't shake the feeling that another crazed fan is going to strike. Then a frightening message -- "Play or Die" -- is delivered to Devi's house, and she finds herself sucked into a deadly and cryptic game not unlike the one in the movie she's starring in. Hollywood has always been her life, but does Devi know its secrets well enough to follow the cinematic clues that might save her and her favorite Prada bag? Julie Kenner is the author of two previous novels in this series,The Givenchy Code and The Manolo Matrix, both available from Downtown Press. Her novel Aphrodite's Kiss was a USA Today bestseller, and Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom was a Book Sense Summer Paperback Pick. Her other acclaimed novels include Nobody But You and The Spy Who Loves Me. She lives in Georgetown, Texas, with her husband and daughter.
