Crescendo: it's murder in Hollywood

A lost Hitchcock film. A deadly secret. It's murder in Hollywood. Hollywood, 1959. When struggling mystery writer Bobby Burgoyne is hired by Alfred Hitchcock to work on the script for his new film Crescendo, he thinks his future success is assured at last. Instead he is swept into a swirling maelstrom of madness and murder. Someone, it seems, is willing to kill to keep the film from being made and Hitch needs Bobby to find who or what is behind the sabotage. With a ruthless killer in pursuit, Bobby discovers that behind the obscure novel Hitch has based his movie on lies a true tale of abduction, amnesia and death. To save his own life as well as Hitch’s career, Bobby must penetrate to the heart of the mystery and confront a final, shocking revelation. 'A pitch-perfect pastiche that will delight fans of Raymond Chandler as well as those of Hitchcock … Now all we need is someone to film it' - The Times
