Stars in the Night
Description:
Stars in the Night is a historical romantic suspense set in Hollywood during
1942.
When Audra Schaeffer's sister disappears in Hollywood, Audra flies there to find her, but has to identify her body instead. Determined to find the
killer and bring him to justice, Audra takes a job with the second Hollywood
Victory Caravan. Together with Robert Garfield and other stars, she
crisscrosses the southern United States as the stars sell war bonds. When
Robert's ex-wife and another woman are found dead on the train, Audra knows
the deaths are tied to her sister's. Is the killer is the man she's falling
in love with? And can she identify the killer before he targets her?
Why the author wrote this book:
I'd started praying about a new setting for a series set during World War II. A couple nights later my husband and I were talking about Hollywood and the very different roles the stars played in the war. Some served. Some stayed. Some couldn't serve. Some went on USO tours. Others sold war bonds in the states. Add in the glamour and glitz and I knew I'd found the next perfect setting. Then an editor at Summerside contacted me asking if I might be interested in writing for the line and one of the settings they were interested in was Hollywood. Isn't God cool!
The Hollywood Victory Caravan was a real event that happened in early May 1942. I created a second, fictional caravan so that no real stars would be killed. But the way the caravan operated and its purpose are unchanged. I hope you enjoy this story!
