About the book: When a struggling (ahem, aging) Hollywood starlet is forced to join the Victory caravan to save her continued stardom, she becomes entwined in a potential murder tied to a group of homegrown Nazis, and she soon must choose to save her country or her career. Hollywood, 1942. Jacqueline Love's once-successful acting career is flailing. Not only is she now on the wrong side of 40, but she's been dubbed as  difficult to work with,  and the once plentiful roles reserved for her in blockbuster films have dwindled to a complete halt. But with the country at war, the American people want nothing more than to escape to the silver screen, and Jacqueline's agent suggest the one thing she thinks can get her career back on track: joining the Hollywood Victory Caravan, a train full of movie stars volunteering to fundraise for the troops. When a loutish actor dies on board just outside of Chicago, everyone assumes he drank himself to death. But Jackie is convinced that there's more to the death. Stuck in Chicago until the case is cleared, Jackie enlists the help of Grace, one of the few women in the Chicago police force, who's desperate to get herself off of desk duty with a high-profile case. As they team up to solve the potential murder, the two end up finding that the victim had ties to a homegrown group of Nazi sympathizers – and soon Jackie must ask herself what’s more important: her career, or her country?
