Sunset Boulevard, the almost mythical street that runs from
downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean, is the setting for all of the
stories in this anthology by members of the L.A. chapter of Sisters
in Crime. Each story is set in a different neighborhood, providing an
overview of the city. Beginning with Dana Kouba's "Closing Time,"
set in a downtown, working-class bar, and continuing west
through Echo Park, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills to the exclusive
Malibu estates, the stories are full of hopeful future stars, arrogant
directors, lawyers, and police detectives. There is even a cameo
appearance by Philip Marlowe. Paul D. Marks writes "L.A. Late @
Night" as a screenplay, while Gabriella Diamond offers the ultimate
in irony and revenge in "Black and Red and Dead All Over." Short
story fans will enjoy this trip down Sunset Boulevard. Barbara Bibel
