I think
laughingrat mentioned this book was coming out a few months back. It's called "Frames" by Loren D. Estleman. He's a rather prolific crime fiction writer, not usually my genre. This one's about a film archivist who buys a run down theater in LA, finds a skeleton and reels of Von Stroheim's "Greed". Now he has to save the film and solve the old murder. Oh and I'm sure a character is based on Kevin Brownlow.
I've reserved a copy, it looks all light and fluffy.
Now that the small pile of books are processed, it's back to the hanging bibliographic records.
