The Seventh Veil of Salome : the sumptuous historical epic from the author of MEXICAN GOTHIC Hardback

Hardback

Description

'Absolutely not to be missed' - Kate Quinn on this sumptuous historical epic from the author of Mexican Gothic. Golden Age Hollywood - a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue.

Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary temptress. So when the film's mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town.

Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. As Vera navigates the glitz and the gilded glamour of her new city, Nancy follows silently behind, trying to take everything she believes Vera has been unfairly handed. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself.

Consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Salome is a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. And tragedy is waiting in the wings . . . for all three women. 'Will leave you spellbound' - Fiona Davis
