Summary

As World War II rages in Europe and in the Pacific, the small town of Progress is doing its part for the soldiers in the field with a war bond drive at the annual county fair. Town gossip Ava Dempsey starts a rumor that Clark Gable will be among the participating stars. Instead of Gable, though, the headliner is Freddie Harrison, a B-movie star. When Freddie turns up dead in the dunk tank, Irene Ingram, editor-in-chief of The Progress Herald, starts chasing the real headline.

There are plenty of suspects and little evidence. Ava’s sister Angel, who was married to the dead actor, is the most obvious. The couple had argued about his affair with the young starlet Belinda Fox, and Angel was the last person to see Freddie alive. But Irene discovers there’s more than one person who might have wanted Freddie dead.

As she draws on her well-honed reporter’s instincts to find the killer, nothing is what it seems in Progress—and now her own deadline could be right around the corner.
