Lola Starke
|
Enter the world of Crescent City, an alternate history 1930s "Chinese Los Angeles," and home turf of private investigator, Lola Starke...
A simple case. A den of thieves. A woman committed to the truth.
It's a straightforward case: find a missing husband who spends his days examining stamps. Still reeling from recent tragedy, however, Lola Starke wants to pass altogether, more so since her ghost Aubrey insists it's the perfect cast to ease back into things. But the wife is adamant something bad has happened. What's a shamus to do—especially when the missing man works just down the hall?
But straight ain't in the cards, not in the middle of a high-stakes business deal involving the City's most powerful film studio, a wily gangster, a rival PI...and a rare stamp. When her client is kidnapped, Lola discovers just how far the twisting path she's willing to go to save the woman and her missing husband.
This is the '30s and this is Crescent City, where gangsters and thieves are thick on the ground and the film studios are the biggest game in town. Where smiles hide secrets and good intentions mean nothing. Where the only question is, what will it take to be last woman standing?
