In 1967, film director King Vidor investigated the murder of William Desmond Taylor, which occurred in 1922 in Hollywood. The investigation, which was initially intended to be a film, was shelved because it involved people still alive. Based on the material archived by Vidor, Sidney Kirkpatrick reconstructs this investigation, which reveals a turbulent and corrupt society in which drugs, homosexuality, and crime constitute the hidden substrate of the dazzling golden age of silent film. The book is a fascinating detective adventure and a glimpse into a turbulent and corrupt society.
