520    "An unforgettable novel from an award-winning author about
       an ambitious young agent's daring fight to protect 
       blacklisted writers in McCarthy-era Hollywood and her 
       passionate relationship with an African American 
       journalist. Outraged by her grandfather's illicit affair 
       with Empire Pictures' latest femme fatale, Roxanne 
       Granville forsakes her position as Hollywood royalty and 
       rejects the man who raised her, determined to strike out 
       on her own. Backed by little more than the stubborn grit 
       she inherited from her beloved grandmother, Roxanne sets 
       up shop as a low-budget film agent for budding 
       screenwriters. When an old friend, exiled from Hollywood 
       and Empire Pictures by her grandfather for being a 
       Communist sympathizer, begs for her help, Roxanne decides 
       to right the wrongs committed by her family. It's what her
       grandmother would have wanted. Soon Roxanne finds herself 
       at the helm of a lucrative business, having landed her 
       secret clients a handful of major studio deals through 
       willing frontmen. Her newfound freedom leads her to a 
       passionate relationship with an African American 
       journalist and jazz aficionado. But Hollywood is ruthless 
       when it senses a scandal. How long will it take before all
       of Roxanne's success comes crumbling down?"--|cProvided by
