Murder was breaking down the Hollywood star system--star by star.
There is Dietrich, there is Garbo...and there is Anny Rood of the Great Swooping Eyes and the Bone Structure--who for twenty years had held in her lily white palm the collective heart of America's film-watcher's. Anny, who has been able to get away with anything for all of her beautiful life....But who has finally gone too far. Because not even a "legend" can get away with murder.

Norma Delaney had 'slipped and fallen while descending the stairs, thereby breaking her neck' was the way the papers put it. But young Nickie Rood couldn’t help suspecting his mother, the Hollywood successor of Greta Garbo. After all, she was adored by Norma’s husband, who would almost certainly give her the leading role in his next big picture. Things look blacker still when the blackmailers move in; but after a dazzling series of shocks and surprises, all is put to rights in this sprightly comedy-crime.
