Golden Throat is a raw, heart-pounding noir adventure that blends 1930s Hollywood intrigue with mind-bending inter-dimensional mystery. The premier release in a spell-binding 22-book series by James P. Alsphert introduces Cable Denning-an ex-cop turned private eye who refuses to back down from an unjust world. Disillusioned by the corruption of the L.A.P.D., Cable strikes out on his own, only to stumble upon a bizarre crime scene: a mysterious golden capsule lodged in the throat of a not-quite-human victim. What starts as a standard investigation quickly spirals into a covert, high-stakes game of survival. Pursued by sinister underground syndicates, the Mafia, and even the Vatican, Cable's search leads him to Lei-Tao, a shape-shifting Red Dragon Lady. Transported to her dimension, he uncovers the secrets of the capsule-the fen de fuqin-which holds the very blueprint of human DNA and creation. Between inter-dimensional cosmic unions and navigating the smoky jazz dives of Los Angeles, Cable's earthly life is a chaotic mix of danger, gin-soaked nights, and passionate entanglements with alluring women. But when a tragic series of events threatens to shatter his world, Cable must find a way through the heartbreak and psychic trauma. Armed with his trusty .38, a pack of Lucky Strikes, and a brilliant mind for survival, L.A.'s grittiest detective is always ready to answer the call for his next case, "Yeah, Cable Denning here..."
