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.
