A Violent Masterpiece

This epic crime novel tells a story of Los Angeles power brokers and those at the edge—and a single shattering incident that threatens to bring it all crashing down.

The Story

In a modern-day Los Angeles teetering on the edge of chaos, three unlikely allies are pulled into a massive conspiracy. Jake Deal, a live-streaming "nightcrawler," returns to a world of Hollywood sleaze to gather dirt on the city's elite. Doug Gibson, a gritty street lawyer, seeks justice after his high-profile client is silenced in prison. Meanwhile, Kara Delgado, a concierge for the ultra-rich, hunts for her missing friend after a mysterious cover-up.

As the "LA Ripper" serial killer stalks the streets, these three navigate a landscape of tech-bro orgies, secret vaults, and brutal violence. Their separate investigations lead them to a powerful group of men who believe they are above the law. To survive, Jake, Doug, and Kara must expose a web of corruption that links the city’s most depraved crimes to its highest offices before the entire city explodes in a final, bloody confrontation.
