“The last mirage” (“L’ultimo miraggio”) . The third book of the Detective Emmett Kowalski series, after “The Big Dream – A True Story” (“Il Grande Sogno – Una Storia Vera “) and “Double Deceit” (“Duplice Inganno”).
“As long as nobody talks about it!” is the predominant motto in Hollywood and Emmett Kowalski knows it perfectly well. The former movie extra goes back to the Studios as a detective after being hired by the famous actor Paul Harmond who is currently blackmailed.
In a journey behind the scenes of the Hollywood of the Forties the adamant private investigator soon discovers that the actor’s life is full of secret and that the mysterious extortioner is not the only one wanting to bring out the truth. Perfumes, old photographs, references to a glorious past for some, forgettable for others and for Emmett, the chance to settle old and painful scores.
Fabio Romolo is also author of “Rade nuvole e delitti” (Summer of Death) and the Golden Ring series: “How the Aliens Occupied the State” (“Come gli Alieni Occuparono lo Stato”) and “Something in the water” (“Qualcosa nell’acqua”).
