Summer, 1962. A scorching heat wave is suffocating L.A. PI John Keegan is offered a small fortune to find a beautiful woman from a set of photographs. He refuses; the job seems suspicious.
But the next day the same woman, Eve, turns up, unbidden, on his doorstep. Eve fears for her safety. She is being watched. Before Keegan knows it, someone has been killed with Keegans own gun, and he gets sucked into a world of suspicion and betrayal where hes never quite sure where the truth lies. Before long hes the prime suspect in a murder he didnt commit, and all the evidence seems to point in his direction.
Its almost like someone planned it that way.
"[A] terrific debut and series launch...readers will be eager for the sequel."--Publishers Weekly Online
