All That Glitters: A Novel

All That Glitters: A Novel

In Hollywood, a cynical writer recalls five faded beauties of the silver screen

Charlie Caine has been to too many Hollywood funerals. The studio system is long gone, and its starsâ€”some forgotten, some preserved for display on a late-night showâ€”are beginning to pass on, as well. Only a few turn out for the final performance of Babe Austrian, a peroxide-blond beauty whose red-hot talkies changed the way America thought about sex. As he gazes into her coffin, Caine remembers Babe as she was: a dynamite beauty with secrets that could have burned Hollywood to the ground.

In Babe and four other interlocking novellas, Caine recalls the leading ladies of long-lost Hollywood: Belinda, whose daughter was as cruel as she was lovely; Claire, who would do anything to stay in the public eye; April, fragile, beautiful, and mad; and Maude, Hollywoodâ€™s most respected matron, whose happy marriage had a lie at its heart. Charlie Caine knows where cinemaâ€™s bodies are buried, and heâ€™s anxious to start digging.
