DEATH AT OCEAN HOUSE

In Hollywood, everyone has a secret. But which one killed starlet Adelaide Preston?

In August 1929, the Graf Zeppelin is once again making headlines—this time as it circumnavigates the globe. Lady Grace Drummond-Hay and her companion Karl von Wiegand are aboard to report for the Hearst papers as they and the crew make history.

During a two-day stop in Los Angeles, Grace and Karl are invited to glamorous Ocean House in Santa Monica by Marion Davies. They expect sunshine, celebrities, and the latest movie gossip. Instead, when Grace goes out to the pool the morning after a wild costume party, she finds the body of a young starlet floating in the water. With W.R. Hearst’s influence in mind, the police are all too quick to dismiss her death as a tragic misadventure.

But Grace has information they do not—and observes clues that point unmistakably to murder. With only hours before the Graf Zeppelin departs on the final leg of its voyage, Grace must use her intelligence, her journalistic skills, and her ability to move in Hollywood’s tightest circles to uncover what really happened—before the killer hiding among the privileged guests realizes she is closing in on far more than a story.
