Purchased from sale bin outside Burnt Bridge newsagency.
Read my first Dennis Wheatley story in the late sixties, and by the early seventies thought I'd read them all ! He introduced me to French history, the Russian court, magic, espionage and war stories.
Do not remember this one, and was suprised to see this edition published in 1994 when first published in 1933.
From back cover:
"Avril Bamborough has already made a name for herself in British pictures. Now, with a famous director behind her, she is ready to repeat her success in America - in Hollywood.
Hollywood in the Thirties is a glittering world of money and glamour, of staggering stardom and dazzling success. But it is also the world of parasites and shrewd businessmen. And it is the world of the Combine. The Combine is a vast and ruthless conspiracy with one aim: to gain control of the world's film industry and use it as a weapon of unlimited power. Avril Bamborough runs foul of the Combine."
