Summary
“Terrific entertainment.... A powerful portrait of Los Angeles in our time: swift, colorful, gripping, a real knockout.” (Dean Koontz)
The day starts like any other in LA. The sun burns hot as the Santa Ana winds blow ash from mountain fires to coat the glittering city. But for Private Investigator Joe Pike, the city will never be the same again. His ex-lover, Karen Garcia, is dead, brutally murdered with a gun shot to the head.
Now, Karen's powerful father calls on Pike (a former cop) and his partner, Elvis Cole, to keep an eye on the LAPD as they search for his daughter's killer - because in the luminous City of Angels, everyone has secrets, and even the mighty blue have something to hide.
But what starts as a little procedural hand-holding turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse. For a dark web of conspiracy threatens to destroy Pike and Cole's 12-year friendship - if not their lives. And LA just might be singing their dirge.

*****Avoid****
This is the worst quality audiobook I have had to date.
The story is good. I read the book a few years ago. However the production quality is so poor that it ruins the whole experience.
