Hays arrives in town with a mission to clean up the industry and compile a list of 'undesirables', known as the Doom List. As the premiere of Rex Ingram's new movie, The Prisoner of Zenda, approaches, private investigator Tom Collins is hired to protect his leading lady's reputation at all costs. However, as Collins delves deeper into the case, he discovers that Barbara La Marr and others in the cast are hiding secrets that could put them on the Doom List. A body is discovered in the Baldwin Hills, and Collins must navigate a complex web of scandal, forbidden love, blackmail, and murder. With its intricate plot and historical setting, The Doom List A 1920s Hollywood Mystery is a compelling read for fans of mystery and detective fiction.
