From a USA TODAY bestselling author! David Chill's colorful and brilliant mystery captures both Raymond Chandler's gritty vision and Robert B. Parker's biting humor.
The teenage runaway who P.I. Burnside arrested a decade earlier for prostitution has returned to L.A. - and trouble is following her. Burnside made an enormous mistake in helping her, and he wound up losing his job as an LAPD officer as a result, along with his honor and reputation.
But Judy has returned, and is desperate for Burnside's help. Her life is in jeopardy, and she tries to persuade him to accompany her into a dangerous situation. While Burnside isn't fooled this time, she still manages to involve him, and he quickly becomes a person of interest in a grizzly Santa Monica homicide.
Tampa Two continues to showcase Burnside at his wise-cracking best, exchanging quips with an assortment of shady characters. This well-crafted novel is the embodiment of the classic Southern California noir mystery. It is set against a Los Angeles backdrop, a city that many think they know, but few really do. With sharply honed dialogue and strikingly original characters, this is a riveting story that is full of both suspense and humor!
