About This Book
> In 1930s London, actress Estella Lamare is discovered dead on the cutting-room floor of a film studio. The next day, Cameron McCabe finds himself at the centre of a police investigation. There are multiple suspects, multiple confessors, and as the murder count rises, McCabe begins his own amateur sleuth-work, followed doggedly by the mysterious Inspector Smith. Then, abruptly, McCabe's account ends, but *The Face on the Cutting Room Floor* is not finished with us yet.
>Originally published in 1937, *The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor* has gained legendary status. So layered and mysterious that even its publication story and authorship have been questioned, this genre-bending, meta-fictional noir crime novel toys with all the rules of detective fiction - and indeed, writing itself - to create a dark, intriguing and utterly original book.
