Description
In the gritty, sun-bleached streets of Miami, Joe LaBrava—a former Secret Service agent turned photographer—finds himself drawn into danger when Jean Shaw, a faded movie star he once idolized, is threatened by ruthless criminals. As LaBrava investigates, old Hollywood glamour collides with Florida’s seedy underworld, where loyalties shift and danger hides behind every sharp exchange. Combining hard-boiled suspense, vivid atmosphere, and razor-edged dialogue, the novel explores obsession, disillusionment, and the fading dreams of reinvention. This Edgar Award–winning crime novel showcases its author’s signature ear for streetwise conversation and morally complex characters.
