(Independently published, Nov. 16, 2017)
Murder and rock-n-roll in the City of Fallen Angels. A lonely town. A classic genre. A new kind of detective. When superstar Nora Lord is found dead from an overdose of pills and red wine in the bathtub of her West Hollywood hotel suite, L.A. Sheriff’s homicide detective Jason Chance catches the case. He knew Nora through her music. “The news of her death felt oddly to me like the news of the passing of a friend.”Was it an accident? Suicide? Or something more twisted and depraved? Clashing with his partner and bosses, Jason digs into Nora’s final, tragic days, looking for answers and a killer. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous the investigation becomes, leading him on a bloody trail from the raucous Sunset Strip to the dark streets of East Hollywood, and on to the protected enclaves of Newport Beach and Pasadena, uncovering a web of obsession, corruption, blackmail, and murder. All leading to a shocking ending that will leave you stunned. From Josh Griffith--author of THE LOST MAN, THE FORGOTTEN PLACE, and co-author (with Michael Malone) of the NY Times bestselling novel, THE KILLING CLUB--comes a spellbinding novel that will surely keep you reading late into the night.
