No Trivial Pursuit ( Harley Ellis Book #1 )
John EllsworthA front-page murder is assigned to LAPD Detective Harley Ellis and her partner. Hollywood studio head Ira Spielman has been murdered. His widow says he had no enemies. Except one, says Harley, and she must discover who that is and why. She knows he sometimes interviewed actresses alone in his Hollywood office. Harley wonders: did he make a wrong move ? It's not much, but it's a starting point. She would know: her own daughter had a screen test with Spielman before he was killed.
Robbery-Homicide Division begins an investigation that obtains the name of Harley's daughter. Is she a suspect ? No, but she's a person of interest. Charges get filed. The LAPD investigation is put beneath the microscope. Will Harley's investigation of a totally different suspect be vindicated ?
The amazing conclusion to this thoughtful investigation culminates in a final chapter few will see coming.
