From Hollywood starlets to downtown taxi dancers, from Central Avenue speakeasies to clapboard Venice Beach shacks to Depression-era hobos riding the rails, this volume brings readers the masters of the genre, penning tales of love, lust & loss in the City of Angels. Some, like Raymond Chandler & James M. Cain, are literary lions. Others, like screenwriters Paul Cain & Leigh Brackett, whose hard-boiled prose shoots like bullets from a bootlegger`s gun, are mainly known by cognoscenti. Sequel to best selling volume in the Akashic Noir series Los Angeles Noir.
