In the Shadow of the Hollywood Sign

By Randall Caldwell

"They found her under the Hollywood Sign. Cut up, beaten, and strangled. That was fifteen years ago and no one could figure out what happened until I came along..." "Mac" McFarland is a Hollywood detective in court-ordered therapy where he explains to his therapist that to solve the murder of a young actress, he must understand the people in the movie business. And to do that, he must understand how that business developed and why people - good and bad - are drawn to it. McFarland uses history and detective work to make sense of clues - clues left by people who make movies. But he knows man has always conveyed his most primal feelings through images and the power of those images converge in Hollywood, inspiring some to create unbelievable beauty, while driving others to murder. The clues are all around him if he can just put them together. Will his understanding come in time to catch a killer? Hooray for Hollywood, that's what the song says. Right.
