In For Sentimental Reasons, the violent, untimely death of his mother leads Robert Fox on an extraordinary journey of discovery. He uncovers information about his father who died when he was born. A series of clues which Robert runs down lead him through a labyrinth of old Hollywood during the 1950s where he finds his father was one of the great detectives to the stars - and learns about the grisly Wright-Bence Murder Case that was his undoing.
In an elaborate narrative style that jumps in time and place, we experience Hollywood noir and explore the world of young girls living at Welles Manor who come to the City of Angels in the pursuit of fame - with some of them winding up dead.
