"Where murder and mayhem hide behind every corner" -- Cover.
Includes an excerpt from "The 6:20 man".
It's the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan's: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits. Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she's saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor's home... and Eleanor herself disappears. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles - a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals... and where the powerful people responsible for his client's disappearance will kill without a moment's hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail.
