Along the way, he must navigate the complex world of Hollywood and deal with the egos and ambitions of the suspects. The Film Mystery is a fast-paced and thrilling mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.The heavy man was the only one of the company actually in the fabricated banquet hall itself. Clinging to him still were the grim flowing robes of the Black Terror. As though he were some old-fashioned tragedian, he was pacing up and down, hands behind his back, head bowed, eyes on the floor. More, he was mumbling to himself. It was evident, however, that it was neither a pose nor mental aberration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
