About this title

Review

"Like Raymond Chandler, Hamilton describes California in gritty, lyrical prose; like Sue Grafton, she shows a tough-skinned, tenderhearted heroine breaking a few rules." -- "Publishers Weekly"

"First-class, suspense-filled.... Hamilton captures Los Angeles in a way that's comparable to the skills of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais." -- "Sun-Sentinel" (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
