The first in a series of throwback crime novels, inspired by the
Phillip Marlowe's and Sam Spades of the author's youth, Michael
Devlin, the jaded protagonist and private detective of South On
Pacific Coast Highway is himself a throwback private detective,
preferring brains over gadgetry as he operates a one-man shop out
of the sleepy little beach town of Laurel Lagoon. Slumming his way
among the sometimes seedy, sometimes tony but always alluring
venues of the Southern California coastline, Michael doggedly
attempts to solve four murders, free a wrongly imprisoned friend
and wrest spiritual enlightenment from a handful of better
forgotten dreams. He has one clue to guide him, the final cryptic
words of a dying man. "My wife Audrey, she knows the..." That leads
Michael on a chase to find Audrey, her mane of long red hair a
talisman to the woman Michael once loved. Add for a backdrop two
pain in the ass Feds, a hardnosed cop, a billionaire online
gambling mogul, a couple of nasty boys from south of the border, a
Russian thug named Boris, a fortune teller, along with a miniature
poodle named Butch and you have the ingredients for a haunting love
story and a searing portrait of life along the Southern California
coast.
