The latest rousing story of love-making, sleaze, and salvation in the town of Angels, featuring Dick Henry, the Shortcut Man, by p. g. sturges, whom Michael Connelly calling "a valuable successor to Chandler". In Angel's Gate, Dick Henry is drawn into an instance involving an maturity but nonetheless amorous Los Angeles movie mogul named Howard Hogue, who maintains a stable of twenty-plus young starlets available for his highly ritualized and private attentions... Henry is maintained by the sister of a young woman who has gone absent and soon he is becoming friendly with Devi Stanton, the "housemother" to the starlets. Despite Devi's morally doubtful responsibilities, she actually is inclined to help (and enjoy the business of) the Shortcut Man, a romance which will be imperative to his survival. After Hogue's celebrity director batters one of the starlets in a drug-fueled romp, Henry is drawn into a deeper mystery from years past including a haunting loss of life on a boat and a absent screenplay compiled by what is apparently an area homeless man. As he peels again layer upon level of sordid Hollywood history, Dick Henry must contend with crazed drug sellers, Hogue's personal doctor, crooked cops, private security henchmen, and Hogue himself, who's so powerful and bunkered in his movie-biz large numbers that he is not intimidated by the ever-resourceful Henry. Amid a final showdown and genius storyline twists, the Shortcut Man must outwit his opponents if he is to have any chance to survive.
