About This Book

A young woman wins a lead in a motion-picture company and moves between on-location shooting and city rehearsals, encountering studio life, wardrobes, and creative setbacks. Production is menaced by sudden brush fires, smoke and other physical dangers that force urgent rescues and interruptions. A missing manuscript, insinuations, and shadowy surveillance deepen an internal mystery that she pursues by following clues through rehearsals, late-night incidents, and investigative hunches. Along the way she contributes written material for the picture, helps bring the company to a climactic preview, and learns to navigate friendships, rivalries, and the practical hazards of filmmaking.
