Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. First printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. All-new stories by Michael Connelly, Robert Ferrigno, Patt Morrison, Janet Fitch, Susan Straight, Neal Pollack & others. "Los Angeles is the birthplace of noir. Maybe it's the overwhelming shadow cast by Hollywood, the blur of artifice and reality, the possibility of shucking off the past like last year's dress and reinventing yourself beyond your wildest dreams. Maybe it's the desperation that descends when the dream goes sour, the duplicity behind the stunning beauty, the rot of the jungle flowers, the rip tides that carry off the unwary.
