Devil Take The Hindmost: A Lola Starke Novel

Enter the world of Crescent City, an alternate-history 1930s "Chinese Los Angeles" and home turf of private investigator, Lola Starke... A simple job. A tangle of lies. A woman committed to the truth. It’s a straightforward case: find a missing husband who spends his days examining stamps. But straight ain’t in the cards, not in the middle of a high-stakes business deal involving the City’s most powerful film studio, a wily gangster, a shady fence for stolen goods, a rival PI...and a rare stamp. When her client is kidnapped, Lola discovers just how far down the twisting path she’s willing to go to save the woman and her missing husband. This is the ’30s and this is Crescent City, where gangsters and thieves are thick on the ground and the film studios are the biggest game in town. Where everyone's got an angle and no one's gonna get in their way. Where the only question is, what will it take to be last woman standing?
