Noir, jazz clubs, seedy bars, gangsters and assassins go hand in hand in this darkly comic crime tale of investigation by any means possible. When a man is murdered outside Reno's Bar in LA late one night, PI Carlos Vespa is hired to take the case. However, with no clues, no evidence and a suspect that can't be found, the biggest case that Carlos has ever taken may be too difficult to swallow. Especially when the killer turns out to be a member of the mob. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. A fast-paced, atmospheric thriller that will keep you reading until the end.
