About this book

Still devastated by the death of Josh, Henry nonetheless falls for a young actor he successfully defended against burglary charges.

But the murders don't stop, and with his life in desperate danger, Henry follows the trail of evidence, ever upward to the top levels of Los Angeles politics and Hollywood power. Michael Nava is the author of seven Henry Rios novels, five of which ("Goldenboy," "Howtown," "The Hidden Law," "The Death of Friends," and "Rag and Bone") have been Lambda Literary Award winners. He is an attorney in private practice in San Francisco.
