The famous film actress Constance Rattigan receives an unpleasant package: a notebook containing phone numbers of people long dead. There’s plenty to be afraid of—after all, the names of the few who are still alive are marked with a bold cross, including Constance’s own surname. To save her and unravel the mystery of the chain of deaths that follows—shocking Hollywood in memories and Hollywood in the present—Constance’s characters in Bradbury’s new novel (familiar to the reader from “Death Is a Lonely Business”) will have to kill Constance. And they’ll have to do it all together.
