An elusive woman with a hidden past holds the secret that can bring down a hot Hollywood producer along with the owner of a major aircraft plant. A former tong courtesan who fled Los Angeles for China, loses her thriving business and faces death as the Japanese attack Nanjing. A Central Ave. piano player is tasked by Federal Agents to find a woman who may hold the secret to a fifteen year old incident known as the "Point Magu Massacre." Nothing is what it appears to be in the City of Angeles, a place where deals are made and a best friend could deadlier than any enemy. "A riveting saga that skillfully exposes, with an insider's knowledge, the corruption and irresistible power of the California Dream" - Dennis M. Clausen, author of Prairie Son.
Kerr continues his CA saga with WWII. The Rape of Nanjing, spies in Los Angeles, the Central Avenue music scene and a deadly woman out to take down the men responsible for a policeman's death, all make for a grand story told on an epic scale.
