About
Los Angeles, 1978. Glamour hides the rot. The truth sinks slow.
Mara Voss knows how the beautiful people keep their secrets. Once an actress, now a disgraced gossip columnist, she has spent years writing about the parties, scandals, and polished lies of Hollywood's elite. But when young Celia Grey disappears after a private nightclub gathering at The Glass Room, Mara sees something the official story cannot explain.
Celia was not just another troubled starlet. She was afraid. She was trying to leave a trail. And the people around her, her famous mother, a powerful doctor, a nightclub owner, and a fixer with too much influence, all seem determined to make the night disappear.
As Mara digs deeper, she is pulled through a dangerous world of fame, addiction, money, and silence. Every clue brings her closer to Celia's truth, and closer to the parts of her own past she has spent years trying to bury.
Quaalude Quicksand is a dark, atmospheric crime thriller about power, guilt, survival, and the cost of telling the truth in a city built on beautiful lies.
