Tami Hoag did it to me again - she wrote a book I had to finish in one session. From the back of the book comes the plot: "Bike messenger Jace Damon is on his last delivery of a long day - a package from one of LA's sleaziest defense attorneys, Lenny Lowell. But when Jace tries to make the drop, he is chased, shot at and barely escapes with the package - and his life. Meanwhile Lowell has been murdered and Jace finds himself suspect number one. In a city fueled by money, celebrity and sensationalism, the slaying of a bottom-feeder like Lowell won't make headlines. So when LAPD's elite show up, homicide detective Kev Parker wants to know why. Parker begins a search for answers that will lead him to a killer - or to the end of his career. Becuse if there's one lesson Parker has learned over the years, it's that in a town built on fame and fantasy, delivering the truth can be murder."
