In these short stories, Valentino's searches for missing motion pictures become dangerous investigations, and he is forced to decide what's more important-preserving film history, or preserving his own neck.Comprised of timeless short stories that have appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Loren D. Estleman's Valentino: Film Detective shows why Estleman is considered a master not just of film history, but of the enduring art of murder, which golden-age Hollywood did so much to perfect.
