Murder was breaking down the Hollywood star system—star by star. There is Dietrich, there is Garbo...and there is Anny Rood of the Great Swooping Eyes and the Bone Structure—who for twenty years had held in her lily white palm the collective heart of America's film-watcher's. Anny, who has been able to get away with anything for all of her beautiful life....But who has finally gone too far. Because not even a "legend" can get away with murder.

Patrick and Jonathan Stagge were pen names under which Hugh Callingham Wheeler (19 March 1912 – 26 July 1987), Richard Wilson Webb (August 1901 – December 1966), Martha Mott Kelley (30 April 1906–2005) and Mary Louise White Aswell (3 June 1902 – 24 December 1984) wrote detective fiction.

Their most famous creation is the amateur sleuth Peter Duluth. In 1963, the story collection The Ordeal of Mrs. Snow was given a Special Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America.
