Amidst the smoky streets of 1925 Los Angeles, PI Jonathan Grey is drawn into a case that reeks of betrayal, intrigue, and murder. When wealthy socialite Charles Bentley is found dead in his opulent mansion, suspicion quickly falls on Eleanor Thornfield, his lover, whose affair with Bentley had set tongues wagging. Despite the mounting evidence, Eleanor insists on her innocence, and her husband, Robert, hires Grey to prove it. But as Grey delves into the tangled lives of Bentley's inner circle, he realizes there's far more to this case than a simple crime of passion. Secrets are buried deep in this world of privilege--hidden affairs, ruthless business dealings, and personal vendettas simmer beneath the surface. Bentley's business partner, Robert Thornfield, is desperate to protect his wife, while Bentley's own wife, Rachael, has an airtight alibi but a motive as clear as day. To complicate matters, a mysterious figure from Bentley's past seems to be lurking just out of sight. As Grey untangles a web of lies and deceit, he finds himself up against a ticking clock. With every new revelation, the list of potential suspects grows longer, and the dangers become more real. In a city where power and wealth rule the day and loyalty is scarce, Grey must stay two steps ahead--or risk becoming the killer's next target.
