Blast From the Past

Book excerpt: In Agatha award-winner Toni L. P. Kelner’s third Where Are They Now? mystery, savvy celebrity reporter and part-time sleuth, Tilda Harper, must go off-script to stop a movie star murder. A Reel Killer When entertainment journalist Tilda Harper is invited to the Cape Cod set of an upcoming action film, she finds there’s just as much drama behind-the-scenes as on the screen. Celebrity stalkers and pushy paparazzi are bad enough, but now it seems that someone wants to shut down the production and its handsome lead... permanently. Rising star John Laryea has come a long way from The Blastoffs, the popular children’s show that launched his career. Pharos could be his breakout hit, but only if he can survive the deadly action off-camera. When a suspicious accident nearly ends John’s career and his life, it’s up to Tilda to figure out who has it in for the Hollywood hunk. It won’t be easy—Tilda’s list of suspects is longer than a blockbuster credit roll. Is it one of the cagey studio execs? A disgruntled screenwriter? An outraged fanboy? Or is one of John’s former Blastoffs costars eager for a lethal reunion? With the help of an old flame, Tilda tries to stop a killer before they can make John’s next scene, his last.
