Mystery Hard Boiled
After twenty years in Los Angeles, Ed Loy has come home to
bury his
mother. But hers is only the first dead body he encounters after
crossing an ocean. The city Loy once
knew is an
unrecognizable place, filled with gangsters, seducers,
hucksters, and
crazies, each with a scheme and an angle. But he can't
refuse the sexy
former schoolmate who asks him to find her missing
husband—or the old
pal-turned-small time criminal who shows up on Loy's
doorstep with a
hard-luck story and a recently fired gun. Suddenly, a tragic
homecoming
could prove fatal for the grieving investigator, as an
unexplained
photograph of his long-vanished father, a murky property
deal, and a
corpse discovered in the foundations of town hall combine to
turn a
curious case into a dark obsession—dragging Ed Loy into a
violent
underworld of drugs, extortion, and murder . . . and through
his own
haunted past where the dead will never rest.
