MURDER
AT WORLDCON
By Debora Hill and Sandra Brandenburg
TONE:
Murder mystery (with comic overtones) set at Worldcon in San
Francisco. Takes place over the course of a weekend, with some
set-up scenes during the previous week. Ensemble piece, similar
in style and pacing to the ANNA LEE movies or I LOVE
TROUBLE with a technical look similar to THE NET
or PRIME SUSPECT.
SET UP:
Two college girls and aspiring writers get jobs working for
a caterer at Worldcon in San Francisco. On the Friday evening
before the convention begins, they work at a party given by
a favorite fantasy author, and meet the author and her friends
and colleagues.
STORY LINE:
At the convention, a literary agent with whom the author has
been fighting (due to his horrible penchant for young, aspiring
writers) is murdered in a particularly trenchant fashion. When
the author is arrested for the murder, the two college students
decide to find the real murderer. They are assisted by two retired
schoolteachers (female), a young actor who is attracted to one
of the girls, and a journalist.
