"A fun, fast read that is fully engaging. The multiple story lines and
deeply flawed characters will keep the reader invested. Some of the
content is for a mature audience, but this should not deter a worthy
library purchase. For fans of Brubaker and Phillips, film noir, and
Golden Age Hollywood stories." - Library Journal (Starred)
Brubaker and Phillips' newest hit series, The Fade Out, is an epic
noir set in the world of noir itself, the backlots and bars of Hollywood
at the end of its Golden Era. A movie stuck in endless reshoots, a
writer damaged from the war and lost in the bottle, a dead movie star
and the lookalike hired to replace 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!
