Renee Patrick

Renee Patrick is the pseudonym for married authors Rosemarie and Vince Keenan.

You may have seen them on Turner Classic Movies, introducing movies on Noir Alley with host Eddie Muller.

Their novels feature Lillian Frost, a transplanted New Yorker with a boundless love of the movies and a single lousy screen test to her credit and Edith Head, the real-life costume designer who, over the course of a career spanning seven decades, would be nominated for more Academy Awards than any other woman.

The books have been finalists for the Agatha, Anthony, Left Coast Crime, and Macavity Awards.

When not immersing themselves in Hollywood's glamorous Golden Age, Rosemarie is a research administrator and Vince is a screenwriter and a journalist. Both native New Yorkers, they currently live in Seattle, Washington.

THE SHARPEST NEEDLE (2020). Lillian and Edith assist Marion Davies when the actress receives poison pen letters highlighting an embarrassing event in her past.

SCRIPT FOR SCANDAL (2019). As old murders spawn new ones, Lillian and Edith race to find the true story behind a script that claims Lillian's boyfriend masterminded the robbery that led to his partner's death.

DANGEROUS TO KNOW (2017). At the request of Marlene Dietrich, Edith and Lillian search for a missing musician and find themselves embroiled in a scandal that extends from Paramount’s Bronson Gate to FDR’s Oval Office.

DESIGN FOR DYING (2016). Featured on NPR's 2017 Summer Reading list. Set in 1937, Lillian and Edith investigate a mystery that pits them against a Hungarian princess on the lam, a hotshot director on the make, and a private investigator who’s not on the level.
