Famous Players: the Mysterious Death of William Desmond Taylor 76 pp.
This graphic novel explores the unsolved murder of silent movie director William Desmond Taylor in 1922. The artwork has a film noir feel. The story unveils some of the secrets surrounding Taylor's life including the revelation that he was not who he claimed to be. The cast of characters and suspects includes many of the most famous Hollywood names of the era. This is part of the "Treasury of XXth Century Murder" series. There are more of these books in my future.
I can't say enough good things about Geary's true crime series! When you've worked your way through the XXth series, be sure to check out the Treasury of Victorian Murder series.
