VEIL OF TORMENT by March Hastings
There’s the Ivy Sherwood the public knew: the actress, the glamorous, beautiful darling of the stage, living a storybook life of champagne and roses with her glittering future ahead of her. And then there’s Ivy off-stage, away from family and friends, prowling the streets, hardly recognizeable without make-up, her eyes shining with tension and craving, picking up any stranger, going into any dingy bedroom. She’s running furiously through her days, seeking escape, needing release, fighting the passionate demon which lives inside her, torturing her, wildly demanding more liquor, more men, more women, anything to sate her uncontrollable sexual desire.
TWICE THE TERROR: Two novels by Sebastian Blayne (HOLIDAY IN HELL and TERROR IN THE NIGHT)
In HOLIDAY IN HELL, someone wants Moira dead but each horrific attempt, each apparent “accident,” has failed so far…and cost others their lives. But she knows that soon her luck will run out…and that the killer, who might even be her own husband, will succeed. Moira’s only hope is Sebastian “Neddy” Blayne…the flamboyant, wealthy, pampered bon vivant… famous playwright, author and brilliant detective. In TERROR IN THE NIGHT, Is Sebastian Blayne’s secretary marrying a psychopathic killer? Will Blayne find the answer before she’s killed…or will he die trying?
CARLOTTA McBRIDE by Charles Gorham
Who is Carlotta McBride? In the swank nightclubs of New York, Hollywood and Paris, she is the beautiful and brilliant star of stage and screen… but in the dark, lurid dive bars and dark alleys of those same cities, she is promiscuous and self-destructive, slowly killing herself with alcohol, drugs, and risky sex. She is a woman seared and haunted by trauma in her past that she can’t escape, whether it’s in the fantasy world of acting, or at the bottom of a whisky bottle, or in the arms of a brutal man. The only person who can save her is herself…but to do it, she will have to confront a shocking truth.
THE FLESH – AND MR. RAWLIE by Morton Cooper

The death of Broadway playwright John Rawlie’s first wife, and the crumbling of his second marriage, have him spiraling toward suicide on the night before the opening of his newest play.
“Intimate, knowing and daring,” Earl Wilson, nationally syndicated Broadway reviewer/columnist, author of The Show Business Nobody Knows.
