Produktbeschreibung
It's October 1950 in sunny Los Angeles, but there's deep, dark trouble in paradise for white private dick Matt Moulton. He has taken on the most dangerously complicated case of his career, one involving racial enslavement and murder, police corruption, and corporate organized crime. Moulton's high-risk, high-reward client is a black woman who leads her dead white husband's mob in Chicago. Her daughter disappeared without a trace after moving to LA to pursue the nearly impossible dream of becoming a movie star. The mob lady believes that no one is better suited to find out what happened to her girl than the tough, cynical, but racially sensitive Moulton, the lost love of whose life was black. The story turns pure noir when Moulton discovers that the daughter remains alive, the drugged captive of a corporate movie studio operating a black-sex slave ring. He reports the slavery service to the LA police, but-not wanting to alienate Hollywood power-they dismiss Moulton as a "white knight." Meanwhile, the studio tries on three occasions to silence him-permanently. The embattled Moulton must find a way to not only solve his case but also somehow survive it.
Autorenporträt
After dropping out of high school and later having nothing to his name but a GED, Michael Amedeo began writing. The active voice helped him earn a BA in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MA from the intellectually demanding University of Chicago. He became an award-winning creative copywriter for corporations and agencies, a freelance film critic and journalist for several newspapers and magazines, and a PR and media relations writer for still more organizations. Looking for a new writer's edge, Amedeo turned to fiction and used his hardboiled film noir background to create the stylishly embittered private dick, Matt Moulton.
