To celebrate "Boardwalk Empire" and all period noir, I'm posting my latest book, "The Pigtailed Heart":
The story:
On the gritty mean streets of 1940s Los Angeles, investigator Jack Clayton has few illusions—he knows all about LA corruption. Yet when the infamously feisty defense lawyer Jerry Giesler asks him to find witnesses for Hollywood’s latest sensational murder trial, Jack tumbles into a web of gambling, corruption, and international espionage, and into the arms of a siren so dangerous she could set off the whole powder keg.
Based on a true criminal trial and years of research, this sweeping, rip-roaring saga lives and breathes the hardscrabble times of pre-war Los Angeles: glamor, gambling, political corruption, and the explosive appetites of a thriving young megalopolis.
Hope you enjoy!
