Produktbeschreibung
Los Angeles, October 1948 Private investigator and former Army Medical Corps member Eleanor "Ellie" Vance thought she was hired to find a missing movie producer. Just another case of Hollywood ambition gone wrong in a city where dreams died daily. She was dead wrong. Roger Talbot didn't just disappear-he stumbled onto a secret that powerful men have killed to protect for sixty years. A secret about the real forces controlling Los Angeles from the shadows of its glittering elite society. When security guard Walt Henley is found torn apart in Griffith Park, Eleanor discovers claw marks that no human hand could make. When she digs deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from City Hall to the Hollywood Hills, involving men who aren't entirely men and appetites that aren't entirely human. Now Eleanor is trapped between corrupt cops who want her silenced, federal agents with their own agenda, and creatures that hunt under the light of the moon. With only a .38 revolver, a few silver bullets, and allies she's not sure she can trust, she must navigate a city where the most dangerous predators were thought to wear three-piece suits and conduct business from corporate boardrooms. But some prey fight back. And Eleanor Vance has never learned when to quit. In the City of Angels, some devils have been hiding in plain sight for generations. Now someone's about to expose sixty years of buried secrets-if the truth doesn't get her killed first. It's a detective crime novel meets supernatural thriller in this breakneck tale of 1940s noir. Eleanor Vance is a protagonist worth rooting for in a Los Angeles you've never seen before.
