Publisher's Synopsis
Los Angeles was supposed to be the start of a new life after years of unfulfilling work. Starting a detective agency was meant to be a return to a younger time when, as a disaffected ex-student, Philip had been able to help a young woman find the truth about her murdered brother. Now, eight years later, opening a detective agency was always going to be a gamble. Almost immediately, Los Angeles proves to be a trap in a case that puts the pursuit of truth to the test. Set against the backdrop of the 1932 Olympics the detective's first proper case demonstrates that history is sometimes a gamble. There are winners and losers, but when losing means being murdered, it's not a game.
