Here is a small preview of my latest book from NBM, “Famous Players: The Mysterious Death of William Desmond Taylor.” It’s the convoluted tale of a still-unsolved 1922 murder in Hollywood, involving several film stars and other “famous players” of the day. The two finished pages reproduced here recount the discovery of the body, always the best starting point for a good mystery.
By the way, I’m proud and thrilled to be nominated for two Eisner awards this year, especially so because they both recognize my work for NBM, on last year’s book “The Lindbergh Child.”

Gorgeous work as always, Mr. Geary… I can’t wait to read the book. Congratulations on your Eisner nominations… they sure are well deserved!
