- The Golden Age of Hollywood.**Palm trees and movie stars. Film studios pumping out musicals, westerns, and gangster films at a furious pace.

But when Kate has to move to Hollywood to live with her washed-up silent film star grandfather, she walks into a murder scene and finds herself on the front page again. She suspects one of the young men boarding in her grandfatherβs run-down mansion is the killerβmaybe even her grandfather. She searches for clues.
Now, Kate must discover the killer while working on the set of a musicalβand falling in love. Will her stars align so she can catch the murderer and live the dream in Old Hollywood? Or will she find that she's just chasing starlight?
