Meet spirited Queenie Davilov in her first appearance on the mystery scene.  A struggling screenwriter who moonlights doing security checks on the Hollywood film community, she's clever and wry, with an indefatigable sense of curiosity.  She's a woman with a taste for Jack Daniels and her own hand-rolled cigarettes, who isn't superstitious but keeps a Goddess icon or two around the house, "just in case."

In this second mystery of the series, the intrepid Queenie lands an unbelievably plum assignment for a beginning screenwriter: to doctor a script by one of the masters of the business, Digs Patterson.  The upside is that the movie--is being shot on location in Barcelona and in the breathtakingly beautiful mountains of Catalonia.  The downside is that the production has been plagued by a series of costly and frightening mishaps, including the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the brilliant but alcoholic Digs.
