Santa Maria, CA, March 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- When private detective Tom Logan sat down to enjoy a sandwich at a Hollywood deli, he had no inkling that he would soon find himself embroiled in a hair-raising adventure that could possibly take his life. A “slinky blonde” straight out of a pulp detective novel kicks off the story, offering Logan $50 in exchange for discovering the identity of the person leaving frightening threats against her life. The blonde in question is the beautiful Madeline Hyland, a debutante dabbling in film, and Logan is thrown headlong into the sordid world of the second-rate movie studio, where he narrowly avoids being shot and killed upon his first visit to the set of the popular “Keys to Adventure.”
The death of an extra on the set increases Logan’s resolve to find the mysterious person responsible and he enlists the help of an officer with the LAPD, “Red” Clancy. With Clancy’s aid, Logan methodically tracks the killer and maintains the safety of his charge. Will Logan end up falling for the beautiful Mattie Hyland? Or will he succumb to the charms of the lovely Rita, a helpful studio employee? Will Logan learn the identity of the mysterious man in the red scarf who haunts the scene of every crime? And can Logan keep himself and Mattie alive?
Anything Short of Murder, published by Dog Ear Publishing, is a charming page-turner, full of colorful characters and set in 1930s Hollywood, a fascinating period in the famous city’s history. Author Tony Piazza’s attention to detail is impeccable, and this whodunit will keep the reader guessing to the very end. Piazza spent some time working for motion pictures and television in the 1970s as an actor, extra, and stand-in. He now resides in the California Central Coast with his wife and works as an Assistant QA Manager for a food safety laboratory. This is his first novel.
