Private Investigator and WWII veteran, Aloysius Archer, returns to solve a new case in Hollywood in this riveting thriller from international number 1 bestselling author, David Baldacci. 1952, Los Angeles. It is New Year’s Eve and PI Aloysius Archer is dining with his friend and rising Hollywood actress Liberty Callahan when they’re approached by Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter who would like to hire him, as she suspects someone is trying to kill her. A visit to Lamb’s Malibu residence leaves Archer knocked unconscious after he stumbles over a dead body in the hallway; and Lamb seems to have vanished. With the police now involved in the case, a close friend and colleague of Lamb’s employs Archer to find out what’s happened to the screenwriter. Archer’s investigation takes him from the rich, glamorous and glitzy LA to the seedy, dark side of the city, and onward to the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, just now hitting its stride as a hot spot for celebrities and a money-making machine for the mob. In a place where cops and crooks work hand in hand, Archer will cross paths with Hollywood stars, politicians and notorious criminals. He’ll almost die several times, and he’ll discover bodies and secrets from the canyons and beaches of Malibu and the luxurious mansions of Bel Air and Beverly Hills to the narcotics clubs of Chinatown. With the help of Liberty and his PI partner Willie Dash, Archer will risk everything and leave no stone unturned in finding the missing Eleanor Lamb, and in bringing to justice killers who would love nothing better than to plant Archer six feet under.
In the third instalment in the life of Detective William Warwick,
following on from Hidden in Plain Sight, international bestseller

storytelling.
You've lost your daughter.
A gripping story of power, ambition, and the price of desire.
A boy is found with his throat ripped out,
When Captain Kassie Kasselman of Newlands SAPD starts investigating a missing ex-colleague, it’s quickly clear that more is going on than a simple drug-related disappearance. It somehow seems linked to the kidnapping that has struck his colleague Rooi Els’ wife’s place of work, a curio shop. From the Cape ganglands to Kruger’s rhino poachers, from a grisly smallholding to the glitz of the diplomatic world, Kassie has to feel his way quickly but carefully – or Rooi Els’ wife is fish food. Afrikaans readers have grown to love anti-hero Captain Kassie Kasselman since Rudie van Rensburg’s first crime novel, Slagyster (2013). His unique style of detective story, with a strong focus not only on the investigation but also on the criminals in question, creating a complex and satisfying web of motives and plot, is now available in English for the first time.
