Tinseltown Deception Bud Stigall

A love triangle goes bad on the movie set for Secret Desires when a determined killer prowling Crystal Dreams Pictures brutally murders two Academy-Award-Winning stars under exclusive contract with the world-famous Hollywood studio. The film's leading actor, Lance Vaughn, is rising to the top with unprecedented speed. His fairytale romance with Natalie Baldwin, the film's makeup artist, begins to fade when his stunning co-star, Kela Ryan, faces the critical decision to play her part opposite Vaughn and to become his secret lover. When Lance doesn't show up for publicity photos the morning after the mega-budget picture wraps, Natalie finds Lance in the guesthouse of his Bel Air mansion, dead with a .38 caliber revolver next to the body. Within hours of the discovery of Vaughn's body, the LAPD reluctantly arrest Jake Baldwin, a decorated veteran detective with LAPD. The arrest is based on purely circumstantial, but troubling evidence: the gun found at the crime scene is his.
