The third novel in the rip-roaring, wildly inventive James Reed
series of hard-boiled crime novels set against the backdrop of
sunny Southern California.These days, ex-London cop James Reed
makes his living renting out the Malibu beach house he got in his
divorce from a big-name actress. He's taking it easy when, to make
some fast cash, he agrees to provide temporary lodging and security
to a wealthy recluse recovering from an undisclosed illness. That
simple job takes a wild turn into a nightmare of blackmail, drugs,
and murder that could put James in prison... or a shallow grave.
"Excellently plotted and paced, this adventure offers the
satisfaction of a hard-boiled L.A. detective story overlaid with
the nuances of a British mystery. Sangster constructs an intricate
problem and lets his intelligent, complex hero loose to solve it."
Publishers Weekly "Sangster certainly has a ball writing this
series." Chicago Tribune "More action-thriller than mystery, the
action, from hand-to-hand combat to nautical chases, is steady."
