Описание:

Hollywood big-shot Vivien Spender has waited ages to produce the work that will be his masterpiece: a film adaptation of Thomas Manns The Magic Mountain. Hes spent years grooming young starlets for the lead role, only to discard each one when a newer, fresher face enters his view. Afterwards, these rejected women all immediately fall from grace; excised from the world of pictures, they end up in rehab, or jail, or worse. But Kitten Agnew, the most recent to encounter this impending doom, wont be gotten rid of so easily--her contract simply doesnt allow for it. Accompanied by Mr. Spender on a train journey from Los Angeles to Chicago, she begins to fear that the producer might be considering a deadly alternative. Either way, its clear that something is going to happen before they reach their destination, and as the train barrels through Americas heartland, the tension accelerates towards an inescapable finale.

Reprinted for the first time in over twenty years, Dread Journey is a taut thriller that exemplifies Dorothy B. Hughess greatest strengths as a writer--namely, her sharpened prose and mastery of psychological suspense. While its fine-tuned plot is just as exciting as it was in 1945, when the novel was first published, and its portrayal of Hollywoods less savory elements remains all-too-relevant today, the books characters and setting provide pure Golden Age fare, sure to please any devotee of classic mystery novels.
