With this new thriller, The NY Times bestselling author Tami Hoag delivers her own message to suspense fans everywhere: Don't turn off the lights, and continue reading if you dare. From gritty streets of Los Angeles to its most protected enclaves of prestige and capacity to the ruthless glamour of Hollywood, a killer stalks his prey. A killer so merciless no person in his way is safe—not even the innocent.
At the finish of a long day battling street traffic, bike messenger Jace Damon has one last drop to make. But on the way to delivering a package for one of L.A.'s sleaziest defense attorneys, he's practically run down by an automobile, chased through back alleys, and shot at. Only the instincts acquired while growing through to the streets of L.A. allow him to escape with his life—and with the package someone wants badly enough to kill for.
Jace returns to Lenny Lowell's office only to find the cops there, the legal professional dead, and Jace himself considered the prime suspect in the savage murder. Suddenly he's on the run from both the cops and a killer, and the key to saving himself and his ten-year-old brother is the envelope he still has—which holds a message no person wants delivered: the truth.
In a city fueled by money, celebrity, and sensationalism, the murder of a bottom-feeding mouthpiece like Lenny Lowell won't make the news. So when detectives from the LAPD's elite robbery/homicide division show up, homicide detective Kev Parker wants to learn why. Parker is on the downhill slide of a once-promising career, and he doesn't want to be reminded that he used to be one of the hotshots, working cases that made instant celebrities of everyone involved. Like the case of fading retty-boy actor Rob Cole, accused of the brutal murder of his wife, Tricia Crowne-Cole, daughter of one of the very most powerful men in the town, L.A.'s latest "crime of the century."
Robbery/Homicide does not have any reason to be taking a look at a dead small-time scumbag legal professional or chasing a bike messenger...unless there's something in it for the kids. Maybe Lenny Lowell had a connection to something big enough to be killed for. Parker commences a search for answers that will lead him to a killer—or the finish of his career. Because if there's one lesson he's learned over time, it's that in a town built on fantasy and fame, delivering the truth can be deadly.
