A Good, Hard Slap
A Novel of Early Hollywood
by Catherine Bator
In the Jazz Age a woman’s best defense was a good, hard slap… or was it? The women of Kaplan Talking Pictures are about to discover that sometimes a slap is not enough.
Sometimes murder is required.
A Good, Hard Slap is a fast-paced psychological thriller set in 1930.
“Bator effectively weaves a deeply felt theme about the consequences of silence in the face of sexual assault with the engaging elements of a mystery thriller.” — Kirkus Reviews
