"Alan has crafted a classic adventure which feels fresh and fantastic. It feels like a combination of Sherlock Holmes and the Three Stooges. The 1930’s are expertly evoked and layered with a fast-paced and hilarious adventure featuring movie stars, mobsters and the plucky Grand Central Cinema Club gang. Alan never misses! Another surefire hit! Deserves to be a blockbuster book and movie!"
