About this case

Hollywood's golden age had a dark side, and Lot 13 at Paramount Pictures was about to prove it. Rising starlet Delilah Diamond was everything 1940s cinema wanted: beautiful, talented, and utterly disposable to the studio system. For weeks, she'd been receiving threatening letters with no return address, each more disturbing than the last. The studio's solution? Increase security and continue filming. When Delilah is found dead on set, posed like a scene from her own picture, the publicity machine kicks into overdrive. The official story: a tragic accident with a prop malfunction. The truth: cold-blooded murder. Director Heinrich Vogel was obsessed with Delilah, but she'd rejected his advances. Co-star Marilyn Monroe was tired of playing second fiddle. Screenwriter Thomas Bell had written a role for his ex-wife that Delilah 'stole.' And producer Sol Bernstein had secrets about Delilah's past that could destroy his empire. Welcome to Hollywood, where everyone wears a mask and the cameras never stop rolling, even during murder.

Setting: Hollywood Film Studio, 1947
