Los Angeles, 1946. Private investigator John Dalton has vanished, and rare book dealer Damien Hooke is dead. Now, mobsters are circling Dot Stone, a razor-sharp bookseller with a knack for trouble and a cash problem she can’t ignore.
Dot’s life unravels when her search for answers leads her into a web of murder, kidnapping, and blackmail. With a savvy cab driver, Joy D’Amico, and an adventurous socialite, Virginia Townsend, by her side, Dot races to uncover her link to Dalton and Hooke before the mob decides her time’s up.
As threats close in, Dot must outsmart the underworld—or end up just another casualty in its wake.
But can Dot find the truth in time, or will she fall victim to L.A.’s seedy underbelly?
