Publisher's Summary

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Crais’ homage to Raymond Chandler, journey back to 1950s L.A. where a private investigator’s simple case turns deadly.

L.A. private investigator Eddie Church doesn’t do divorce work, but collecting alimony and back child support for Louise Barris should be easy money. Korean War veteran Frank Barris has a new job and is flush again. All Eddie has to do is collect the check and deliver it to Louise and her airplane-loving little boy. When the check bounces, Eddie discovers that Louise isn’t the only one after Frank and this case involves much more than just battling exes.

Critic Reviews

“Listeners will find echoes of Raymond Chandler in this audiobook.… Patrick Lawlor is perfect for the genre, narrating with clear diction and a tone that fits the story. At less than an hour, the plot speeds along, with Lawlor capturing the characters every step of the way. Add a dose of cynicism, a touch of humor, and gun-toting villains to the veteran narrator's accomplished work, and this is an enjoyable listen.”AudioFile Magazine
