Keegan moves quickly, desperate to find Ida and return to his quiet life, but no one is safe, and appearances can be deceiving

Reviews

"Buchanan's terrific debut and series launch introduces Jim Keegan, a journalist turned private investigator. Keegan is in a funk. . . . Noir fans will recognize the femme fatale trope and the outlines of the plot (think Double Indemnity), but Buchanan has fully reimagined a classic plot. Readers will be eager for the sequel." --Publishers Weekly on A City of Fallen Angels
