FINALIST: Best First PI Novel, Shamus Awards¿¿¿ It's the year 2000 and 78-year-old Mickey O'Rourke has been a Los Angeles PI for a very long time. He'd thought he'd seen it all until the disappearance of porn star Jeffrey Strokes sends him from the sex-filled studios of the San Fernando Valley to the desperate streets of Compton where Mickey's final case becomes his biggest test. Flash back to 1998 and struggling hair salon employee Jemeka Johnson, suspecting boyfriend Ray-Ray of infidelity, follows him one night from their East Compton home to what turns out to be a drug deal gone sour where a twist of fate finds Jemeka tossed onto a dark and dangerous path -- one that offers huge reward for someone bold enough to seize it. Meanwhile, in 1999, tired of robbing small-town diners and shooting bad dope in filthy motel rooms, newlyweds Richie and Alabama return to LA in search of the perfect score. Paths cross and past meets present as bad decisions hurtle toward worse consequences -- and no one will ever be the same.
Autorenporträt
Twice-optioned screenwriter and award-winning novelist Philip Elliott is on a mission to bring noir back. He writes neo-noir rooted in character and enjoys blending these sensibilities into other genres, particularly drama, thriller and horror. His debut novel, Nobody Move, won Best First Novel in the CWC Awards for Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing, and follow-up Porno Valley is a Shamus Awards finalist. As a teenager fueled by the fires of rebellion, Philip played drums in bad punk bands. Based in Vancouver, BC.
