Description

Thoughtfulness, wit, well-rounded characters, and lean, readable prose.-Los Angeles Times Book Review "Shannon has written an intelligent, surprising book, found the heart of his -working-class characters, and delivered a first-rate thriller in the bargain."-George Pelecanos "The landscape of Los Angeles, both actually and metaphorically, has been deconstructed by writers from Chandler to Didion, but never quite as artfully as John Shannon does it."-James Crumley "Shannon's series is still on an upward trajectory. Liffey is a terrific character-smart, funny, sad, and a keen observer of social strata and the world at large. His journey after the truth is realistically messy, and we're with him every step of the way. If only all mystery novels were this good."-Booklist The latest mystery in the critically acclaimed Los Angeles Times best-selling series takes private investigator Jack Liffey to Los Angeles' exotic Koreatown, where a young film student, Soon-Lin Kim, has apparently gone missing.
