Summary
Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci.
Private Investigator and WWII veteran, Aloysius Archer, returns to solve a new case in Hollywood in this riveting thriller from international number 1 bestselling author, David Baldacci.
All that glitters . . .
1952, Los Angeles. It is New Year’s Eve and PI Aloysius Archer is dining with his friend and rising Hollywood actress Liberty Callahan when they’re approached by Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter who would like to hire him, as she suspects someone is trying to kill her.
Murder and mystery
A visit to Lamb’s Malibu residence leaves Archer knocked unconscious after he stumbles over a dead body in the hallway; and Lamb seems to have vanished. With the police now involved in the case, a close friend and colleague of Lamb’s employs Archer to find out what’s happened to the screenwriter.
The City of Angels–or somewhere much, much darker?
Archer’s investigation takes him from the rich, glamorous and glitzy LA to the seedy, dark side of the city, and onward to the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, just now hitting its stride as a hot spot for celebrities and a money-making machine for the mob. In a place where cops and crooks work hand in hand, Archer will cross paths with Hollywood stars, politicians and notorious criminals. He’ll almost die several times, and he’ll discover bodies and secrets from the canyons and beaches of Malibu and the luxurious mansions of Bel Air and Beverly Hills to the narcotics clubs of Chinatown.
With the help of Liberty and his PI partner Willie Dash, Archer will risk everything and leave no stone unturned in finding the missing Eleanor Lamb, and in bringing to justice killers who would love nothing better than to plant Archer six feet under.

Enjoyable
Not what I was expecting from Baldacci, but I really enjoyed it. Rather like a young Marlow. I’m going to read another!

A great story
I love David Baldacci because no matter what he writes the twists and turns keep you hooked! I didn't feel this was as strong as some of his others but after waiting for it for so long I'm not complaining.

Once I had got used to the style of story telling I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had never read/listen to David Baldacci before, I will now.

Gripping Yarn
A typical Baldacci whodunnit. A little heavy on character stereotypes from it’s time in history but that doesn’t spoil it.
The “Allo Allo” French accent is hilarious!

A modern classic series
Of all the David Baldacci books I’ve read, and that’s around 30 or so so far, I’ve enjoyed the Archer series the most! Inventive, stunning writing, movie-like in their storytelling, wonderfully narrated, from a writer at the top of their craft.

enjoyable but not as good as the first two stories
The story was a little contrived and although set in the recent past was similar to many other plots out there. The story was saved by the narration; if I had been reading it I might not have stayed to the end
