The Doom List

The Doom List - you´d rather be dead than be on it: the intriguing new 1920s mystery featuring Irish-born cop turned private investigator Tom Collins. July, 1922. Newly-appointed ´movie czar´ William H. Hays is about to arrive in town on a single-minded mission to clean up Hollywood. He is said to be compiling a list of ´undesirables´ whom he plans to bar from screen work. They call it the Doom List. With the industry in the grip of fear and paranoia, Hollywood´s hottest young director Rex Ingram is determined that no hint of scandal should mar the premiere of his new movie, The Prisoner of Zenda, and hires private investigator Tom Collins, a fellow Irishman, with instructions to protect his leading lady´s reputation at all costs. But, as Collins discovers, Barbara La Marr isn´t the only member of the cast hiding a dangerous secret. Meanwhile, a body is discovered in the Baldwin Hills to the south of the city. Could there be a connection? Against his better judgement, Collins is drawn into a case of scandal, forbidden love, blackmail . . . and cold-blooded murder.
