The Silver Blonde

For fans of Ruta Septys and Monica Hesse comes a lush historical mystery set in post-World War II America against the flashy backdrop of Hollywood's film studios about a shocking murder that threatens to unearth the ghosts of a young German immigrant's past.

Anti-German sentiment runs high in post-World War II America but, Clara Berg won't let that stop her from realizing her dreams of being a Hollywood film editor. Except Hollywood isn't all glitz and glamor, especially not when Clara discovers the dead body of a famous actress in the film archives.

Clara's parents are far from pleased and with the war over, they want to go back to Germany. If Clara can't prove to them that she belongs there and see to it that the killer is behind bars, her dreams of bringing major motion pictures to the silver screen are over. Elizabeth Ross studied French at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, and between semesters she worked in Paris and Brittany. She lives in Los Angeles with her family. When she isn't writing, Elizabeth edits feature films. She is the author of The Belle Epoque and The Silver Blonde.
