City of Myths: A Novel of Golden-Era Hollywood
About this ebook
Kathryn Massey spends her days spreading rumors and keeping secrets. Losing herself one headline at a time has left Kathryn’s personal identity scattered—and dumps her at the narrow end of the bargaining table with the man she trusts the least.
Gwendolyn Brick has simpler aspirations. As a costume designer, her sights are set on glamour, not heights of fame. But her friendship with Marilyn Monroe puts her directly into the crosshairs of studio head, Darryl Zanuck—and he’s someone you don’t say no to.
Marcus Adler is stuck in a much more precarious situation. Exiled in Rome but under the spell of an unexpected romance, he’ll have to learn to say goodbye to everything he’s accomplished in order to give love a chance.
In City of Myths, the road through Hollywood bears sharply to the right as those who dare to play its game can easily become lost in its intoxicating glow.

About the author
Martin Turnbull's love for travel, history, and Hollywood led him from Melbourne, Australia, to the heart of Los Angeles in the mid-90s. His background in travel and guiding, including work with the Los Angeles Conservancy and Warner Bros., equipped him with deep knowledge of Hollywood’s golden era. This expertise inspired the Hollywood’s Garden of Allah historical fiction series set between 1927 and 1959, which explores Hollywood’s glamour through the lives of residents at the real-life Garden of Allah Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. Martin continues to bring his passion for history to life through his writing.
