When William Desmond Taylor is found dead of a gunshot wound in his home on February 2, 1922, the close-knit motion-picture community is thrown into chaos. At first glance, it seems unimaginable that Taylor, a "sophisticated director of high-spirited adventure tales and high-profile literary adaptations," could draw the ire of anyone, let alone a murderer. However, the ensuing investigation reveals that the well-respected Taylor was not the person he seemed-and neither were his friends. A number of suspects for the murder are considered in this graphic novelization of the homicide case that shook Hollywood. Ink-on-paper illustrations, including maps.
