Death Above the Line

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION—AND MURDER.

HOW DID ZEPHYRETTE JILL MCLEOD WIND UP IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS?

She met a director on the California Zephyr and he says she’s “perfect for the part” in his film noir. Of course she is—she’s playing a Zephyrette. But this train isn’t moving on the tracks. It’s a warehouse that’s been turned into a movie set.

Jill’s temporary job as an actress could be a lark. But dark conflicts swirl around the cast and crew. The icy blond actress, the rugged leading man, the supporting players, even the production staff—have secrets they’d rather not share.

A visit from an unpleasant studio executive brings hidden emotions boiling into view. And someone winds up dead.
