El paraíso del diablo

Russell, Craig

A dark, riveting thriller set in 1920s Hollywood about "the greatest horror film ever made," the curse said to surround it, and a deadly search decades later for the only copy rumored to exist. still exists. 1927: Hollywood studio repairman Mary Rourke is called to the palatial home of "the most desirable woman in the world", silent film actress Norma Carlton, star of The Devil's Playground. When Rourke finds Carlton dead, she wonders if the dark rumors she's heard are true: that The Devil's Playground really is a cursed production. But nothing in Hollywood is what it seems, and cynical fixer Rourke, more accustomed to hiding the truth from studio bosses, finds herself searching for it. 1967: Paul Conway, film historian and ardent fan of silent films, is on the trail of a tantalizing rumor: that there may be only one copy of The Devil's Playground, a Holy Grail for film buffs that was supposedly cursed and lost in time. . His search for him takes him deep into the Mojave Desert, to an isolated hotel that hasn't changed in forty years but houses a single occupant and a shocking secret. Separated by decades, both Rourke and Conway begin to suspect that the real Devil's Paradise is, in fact, Hollywood itself.
