Título: The Loneliest Places
Autor: Keith Edward Vaughn
Sinopse: "The Loneliest Places isn't just a terrific debut, it's authentic L.A. noir... In the tradition of Nathaniel West and James M. Cain, Keith Edward Vaughn reminds us that the brighter the sunlight, the darker the shadows." - Joseph Schneider, critically-acclaimed author of the Detective Tully Jarsdel mysteries
"A gritty, assured mystery debut, right up to its satisfying final notes." - Kirkus Reviews
Years since inheriting his famous father's private investigation agency, Ellis Dunaway is a man out of time. He is also out of money, clients, and control of his drug habit. A simple favor for his coke dealer—finding out what happened to the guy he let stay in his Malibu rental house—sets off a series of increasingly violent encounters as the missing man turns out to be connected to one of L.A.'s most powerful families and a brutal cartel called the Black Fist. Traversing the city in his father’s classic Porsche—from yacht clubs to shopping malls to soundstages—the case gets progressively complicated and personal, demanding that Ellis confront his failures as a boyfriend, a one-time screenwriter, a detective, and a son. When he discovers that his father was investigating the Black Fist before his sudden, suspicious death, everything changes. Or, worse yet, nothing changes, and history repeats itself.
