Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci. Private
Investigator and WWII veteran, Aloysius Archer, returns to solve a
new case in Hollywood in Dream Town, a riveting thriller from
international number 1 bestselling author, David Baldacci. All that
glitters . . . 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. Murder and mystery 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. The City of Angels - or somewhere much, much darker?
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.
