Set in Los Angeles in 1946, My Sweet Lorraine is a story of
corruption, passion, loyalty, and of a homicide detective's biggest
mistake: assuming. Cynical veteran, Tom Dreyfus is called from
vacation to do a favor for his boss: work what appears to be a
routine investigation into the brutal murder of a beautiful young
call girl. As Dreyfus and his partner, Munson, work scant evidence
they uncover the woman was desperately trying to escape the sordid
business, and that her clientele were some of the most powerful men
in Los Angeles. Here are characters and dialogue that will stay in
your head long after you've finished the book. Echoing Raymond
Chandler, Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley, and the Polanski-Towne
film noir masterpiece, Chinatown, My Sweet Lorraine will go the
distance to deliver a KO to the jaw. Better keep your guard up,
because whatever happens is going to happen the hard way. In 1949
the term 'serial killer' didn't exist; a psychopath just exhibited
the same MO. Tom Dreyfus and his partner, Munson are back in Jake
Leg and it's the hottest summer on record in Los Angeles. In this
sequel to My Sweet Lorraine they investigate a series of four
brutal murders of homeless men and women, seemingly anonymous faces
on the streets that no one, especially the DA, cares about. Each of
the victims was at one time a prominent member of society, and each
had fallen from grace. Not one seems to have offered the least
resistance to his killer. It's a race against time to find victim
number five before the psycho, the self-proclaimed 'Angel of Mercy,
' does.
