SummaryThe Movie Town Theater is holding its first ever Film Noir
Festival, with Penelope Thornton-McClure handling book sales
for the guest speakers, including screen actress Hedda
Geist. The legendary femme fatale has been out of the
spotlight for decades. Unfortunately, the moment she steps
back into it, she's nearly killed. Then other guests start
to die, and Penelope wants to know why her little town's
film noir weekend has taken a truly dark turn.
With local police on the wrong track, Penelope enlists the
help of Jack Shepard, PI. Okay, so Jack hasn't had a
heartbeat since 1949, when he was gunned down in what is now
Pen's store. But the hard-boiled ghost actually remembers
Hedda's dark past and Penelope is sure he can help solve
this caseeven if he and his license did expire more
than fifty years ago...
