Travel back to Hollywood’s Golden Age as Eagle Harbor Book Company presents the Seattle-based husband and wife duo known as Renee Patrick and their new mystery novel, “Design for Dying: A Lillian Frost and Edith Head Novel,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 24.

Rosemarie and Vincent Keenan were inspired by their love of classic film and an expertise in the history of costume design when forming the plot of this book, the first in a new suspense series, which is set in the moody and glamorous world of 1930s Los Angeles — and features a spunky and unique heroine: the famous and Academy-Award winning designer Edith Head.

Lillian Frost has traded dreams of stardom for security as a department store salesgirl, until she discovers she’s a suspect in the murder of her former roommate, Ruby Carroll. Party girl Ruby died wearing a gown she stole from the wardrobe department at Paramount Pictures, domain of Edith Head.

Edith has yet to win the first of her eight Academy Awards and she’s barely hanging on to her job. A scandal is the last thing she needs.

To clear Lillian’s name and save Edith’s career, the two women join forces.

Unraveling the mystery pits them against a Hungarian princess on the lam, a hotshot director on the make, and a private investigator who’s not on the level. All they have going for them are dogged determination, assists from the likes of Bob Hope and Barbara Stanwyck, and a killer sense of style. In show business, that just might be enough.
