From the acclaimed author of To Live and Die in L.A...
In the streets of Beverly Hills, secrets are the most valuable currency. Meredith Fox, a once-prominent Hollywood publicity agent, has clawed her way back from the brink of obscurity. Now, she's poised for a comeback, leveraging the dark secrets of her celebrity clients to put herself back on top. But when a routine money drop goes fatally wrong, Meredith finds herself caught in a deadly web of betrayal.
Detective Michael Casey, navigating the waters of Beverly Hills' elite, is tasked with unraveling the mystery behind Meredith's death. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a cold world where loyalty is fleeting, and trust is a rare commodity. With every clue leading to more questions, Casey must confront his own demons while piecing together a puzzle that threatens to expose the darkest secrets of Los Angeles.
13 Hillcrest Drive is a gripping thriller that peels back the layers of Hollywood's glitz to reveal the raw, unfiltered human drama underneath. In a city where image is everything, the truth can be the most dangerous revelation of all.
