Los Angeles, the City of Angels, home to Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Where everyone is auditioning for a part, and where lies and deceit
come veiled as glitz and glamour. Join us, if you dare: view a vampire
movie in our Forever Hollywood Cemetery, or take a walk along the
concrete banks of the L.A. River. But watch your step. Murder brews
within the micro-cosmic homeless communes that call it home and
sometimes riffs on melodic waves from the jazz street musicians just
down the block. Twelve stories of mystery, murder, and mayhem,
from the authors of Sisters In Crime/Los Angeles, that will send you
scrambling for a bus ticket home. But watch your back. As they say…
“Nobody leaves L.A.”
