"A fun, fast read that is fully engaging. The multiple story lines and deeply fl
awed characters will keep the reader invested. Some of the content is for a matu
re audience, but this should not deter a worthy library purchase. For fans of Br
ubaker and Phillips, film noir, and Golden Age Hollywood stories." - Library Jou
rnal (Starred) Brubaker and Phillips' newest hit series, The Fade Out, is an epi
c noir set in the world of noir itself, the backlots and bars of Hollywood at th
e end of its Golden Era. A movie stuck in endless reshoots, a writer damaged fro
m the war and lost in the bottle, a dead movie star and the lookalike hired to r
eplace her. Nothing is what it seems in the place where only lies are true. The
Fade Out is Brubaker and Phillips' most ambitious project yet!
