Robert Crais ( Free Fall , Monkey's Raincoat ) returns with his eighth Elvis Cole mystery, L.A. Requiem , a breakneck caper that leaves the wise-cracking detective second-guessing himself. Cole's partner, the tight-lipped, charm-free Joe Pike, gets a call from his friend Frank "Tortilla" Garcia. Not only is Garcia a wealthy businessman, he's a political heavyweight and father of Karen, Joe's ex. Frank sends the gumshoe duo out to find his girl, but the boys are beaten to the punch by the men in blue: Karen is found in a park with a bullet in her brain. The two stay on the case, but when another murder points to Pike as a suspect, things take a turn for the worse. The boys on the force are all too willing to put Pike away -- he has a checkered past. When Cole attempts to save Pike, he finds a lot more than he bargained for.

Daisy es una niña que llega a la mayoría de edad en Los Ángeles a fines de los años sesenta, se cuela en clubes en Sunset Strip, duerme con estrellas de rock y sueña con cantar en Whiskey a Go Go. El sexo y las drogas son emocionantes, pero es el rock ‘n’ roll lo que más ama.

Daisy y Billy se cruzan cuando un productor se da cuenta de que la clave del éxito sobrealimentado es unir los dos. Lo que suceda después se convertirá en leyenda.
