Hollywood Hack
(2019)(The third book in the Detective By Day Mystery series)
A novel by Kellye Garrett
Dayna Anderson has proven she can hack it as a private eye, but can she crack the firewall of a big-time cover-up?
Dayna Anderson's transition from semi-famous actress to semi-successful private eye hasn't been a financial gold mine like she'd hoped, so a breaking news alert about Hollywood's latest 'It Girl' getting hacked barely registers on her give-a-cr*p list. But then Dayna learns her tech genius friend Emme tops the list of suspects.
Dayna's determined to protect her friend at any cost and that means doing whatever she can to find the real hacker. When her investigation uncovers a deadly cover-up on the set of one of the year's most anticipated films, she gets a front row look at the world of big-time movies and big-time gambles, discovering exactly how far people will go to protect Hollywood's moneymakers.
