Hollywood in the Jazz Age! What really happened during the filming of the exciting Ben-Hur chariot race? Could there have been a secret motive behind the deadly "accidents" that day in 1925? Was there a killer loose on the set in Culver City? This intriguing premise provides the backdrop for a unique portrait of "The Dream Factory" at its colorful, uninhibited peak. A runaway farm boy from Missouri, hired to wrangle horses for M-G-M, crosses paths with a famous but unhappy screen beauty. They see in each other an unexpected reflection of what is missing from their lives. They flirt with romance and temptation while interacting with many of the great stars and filmmakers working on the most costly epic of the silent film era. But what will they do when they come face-to-face with murder? How will they react when presented with their own roles to play in the ultimate coverup? More than a story of old Hollywood, The Ben-Hur Murders is about passions as untamed as its chariot race--and of the age-old human struggle between conscience and corruption.
