In one iconic scene, set in a deserted museum, the private eye arrives too late, and the buxom beauty is throttled by an ominous Egyptian priest. Now: the Black Box Cinema immortalizes Hollywood's Golden Age in its gallery of film noir tributes. But the mannequin of that Egyptian priest is hardly lifeless. He walks-and a young starlet dies a terrifying death. Movie mogul Eddie Archer's son is charged with the grisly murder. Eddie calls agent Sean Cameron, who specializes in...irregular investigations. As part of an FBI paranormal forensics team, Cameron knows that nightmares aren't limited to the silver screen. Working with special-effects artist Madison Darvil-who has her own otherworldly gifts-Cameron delves into the malevolent force animating more than one movie monster

My Thoughts:

I liked this book.  It was a light, fast moving read.  A nice change of pace from some of the other books I have been reading recently.  And even though this is a Krewe of Hunters book, I didn’t feel like I was missing out on any information by not having read any of the other previous books with this subtitle.  The characters were fun and it was a nice simple mystery.

So, Ms. Graham, where have I been all your life?  In looking around before requesting this book from Netgalley, I was a bit taken aback at all the books this author has written and this is my first.  I enjoyed this book so much, that I can tell you it will certainly not be my last Heather Graham book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Publishers for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

The publish date is June 19, 2012.

My Rating:  ****
