About the book
In the words of Lee Child on Gone to Dust, ‘I want more of Nils Shapiro.’ New York Times-bestselling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt Goldman happily obliges by bringing the Minneapolis private detective back for another thrilling, standalone adventure in Dead West.
Nils Shapiro takes on what initially seems like a straightforward and well-paying assignment: to determine whether Beverly Mayer's grandson is recklessly squandering his inheritance in Hollywood, particularly in the aftermath of his fiancée's tragic death. But this seemingly simple task soon becomes much more intricate once Nils arrives in Los Angeles, a city of illusions where darkness lurks beneath the bright surface of the sun.
It doesn't take long for Nils to suspect foul play in the death of Ebben Mayer's fiancée, and it appears that Ebben himself may have been the intended victim. As Nils delves deeper into Ebben's inner circle, he uncovers questionable motives among those closest to him in the industry, including his agent, manager, a screenwriter, and a producer.
Teaming up with his friend Jameson White, who is wrestling with his own personal demons in Los Angeles, Nils takes on the role of Ebben's protector as they race against time to unmask the killer before it's too late.
