Los Angeles never sleeps, and neither does Detective Sam Leroy. In the tradition of Michael Connelly's LA and James Ellroy's unflinching city of secrets, Last to Die pulls readers into a Los Angeles where the glamour ends at the county line and the truth is buried somewhere between North Hollywood and the border. For readers who love their detectives world-weary, their cities morally compromised, and their mysteries relentless, Sam Leroy is the next name you need to know. Go back to the beginning for LAPD detective Sam Leroy in the engrossing mystery thriller LAST TO DIE. It's late September, and the hot Santa Ana winds are blowing, covering the city with a thin layer of dust from the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. That night, there are three mysterious and unexplained deaths. The official view is that they are unrelated. The fact that they occurred on the same night is coincidental. The deceaseds had no apparent connection, and all died in different parts of the city. The cases are assigned to Leroy, who disagrees with the official view, and immediately widens the scope of the investigation. However, he meets resistance from the most unexpected quarter, and soon faces a choice: back off and play the game, or do what he knows is the right thing to do...
