Buy it today! “The L.A.

cop novel is different from the New York cop novel, from the Miami cop novel, and, thank God, from the Minneapolis cop novel.

It has become nothing less than a peculiarly American art form, a chronicle of the deterioration of what Scott Fitzgerald called the last and greatest of all human dreams.

L.A.'s cops and killers and the streets they troll have attracted the very best American crime writers.

People like Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, James Ellroy, Joseph Wambaugh, Walter Mosley, and Michael Connelly.

To that list, you now need to add one more name: Danny Smith.

Nobody has ever written the L.A.

cop novel better than Danny Smith does.

Nobody.

Ever.” — Jake Needham, author of the Mean Streets Crime Novels
