      1940, Los Angeles. Hollywood''s famous gossip columnist, Lorna Whitcomb, has summoned Lillian Frost and her sleuthing partner, costume designer extraordinaire Edith Head, to her office. Lorna''s ''leg man'' Sam Simcoe - the man who finds the scandalous material for her column - is in trouble. Tipster Glenn Hoyle has been murdered, and Sam is the LAPD''s only suspect. But Sam didn''t just find Glenn''s body when he paid him a visit. Hiding in a wastebasket was a list of three names - a starlet, a producer and a director - and Sam''s sure Glenn had an explosive story on all of them. Was it just idle gossip, or could it explain his murder?

      Lorna wants Edith and Lillian to find Glenn''s killer before her powerful enemies strike. In a town full of secrets, Edith and Lillian must expose the dirtiest one of all: who killed Glenn Hoyle?
