The Scream Queen Detective Agency Series
In Hollywood, the monsters aren’t just in horror movies.
In the gritty streets of 1980s Los Angeles, Nina Maddox has made a reputation as the go-to woman when Hollywood is in trouble – and it’s always in trouble.
Hired by a studio mogul to protect TVs hottest leading man, Hank Trank, Nina arrives at Trank’s Bel Air mansion ready to get to work. But she’s too late to stop him being brutally murdered with his own award statue.
As Nina chases down the killer, she finds that beneath Hollywood’s glittering façade, there’s a thriving, dark underbelly. And, this time, someone is systematically silencing anyone who might expose the grotesque secret festering in Hollywood’s darkest corners.
Now they’ve set their sights on Nina, she better figure it out, or she’ll learn all over again that Hollywood can be murder.

In Hollywood, you survive by knowing where the bodies are buried.
Nina Maddox used to be hot stuff on the silver screen—red carpets, flashbulbs, champagne. But now she’s traded movie premieres for police tape, working as a private eye in the city where every smile is for sale and every secret’s got a price tag.
But there’s a slight problem with her latest case—she’s not entirely sure there’s a victim.
And the rest isn’t ideal, either: her client can’t be trusted, the suspects are a bunch of two-bit Vegas lowlifes and Tinseltown snakes, and the whole thing is somehow connected to a starlet from Hollywood’s golden age… a woman who vanished without a trace thirty years ago.
But in this town, truth is just another special effect—and if she doesn’t solve this fast, she won’t just be chasing ghosts… when the credits roll, she’ll be one.

Stardom came fast. The nightmares came faster.
Nina Maddox used to light up the screen. Now, six years later, she’s traded red carpets for crime scenes. A private investigator with a past she can’t outrun, she’s pulled back into the spotlight when her former drama teacher is shot on her doorstep, whispering a warning.
He’s coming after you.
The clues lead Nina back to the acting school where it all began, the place where her best friend was murdered. But the act that propelled her to ditch stardom and become a private investigator to track down the killer has never been solved.
The cameras may have stopped years ago but the killer never did.
As she plays cat and mouse with the predator, Nina digs into a case that spans three murders, two timelines and one killer who now has Nina in his sights. But there’s one thing he didn’t expect, she’s not running anymore.
She’s hunting.
