George Baxt: Swing Low, Sweet Harriet (USA 1987)

From the Publisher:
Swing low, sweet Harriet tells of four women who rose to stardom in the Hollywood musicals of the 30's, and whose careers were ruined with the murder of their producer, famous movie mogul Barclay Mill. Thirty-three years later, Mill's unsolved murder crops up again when one of the women, now middle-aged and making a comeback through television, hires Seth Piro to ghost her autobiography. And Pharoah Love, a New York City detective and Seth's friend, gets the distinct impression that the murderer is not only alive but is part of the Mill circle in Manhattan

George Baxt: Swing Low, Sweet Harriet (USA 1968)

From the Publisher:
Camptown's detective is unnerving readers right, left, and straight in the kookiest mystery since A QUEER KIND OF DEATHF
our flaming film stars -- ex-harem of a famous director -- played their last big scene more than thirty years ago when they flung themselves over Barclay Mill's coffin, wailing like Pola Negri at Valentino's funeral. Now the girls are painted and primed for a big comeback, but so is another old-timer -- Barclay Mill's murderer!

That's where Pharoah Love comes prancing in... to solve the turned-on mystery with the ending that can only be called a "shocker."

"A witty, clever, knowing novel...wonderful" Anthony Boucher, THE NEW YORK TIMES
