City of Lost Girls by Declan Hughes
2.0
I like Ed Loy. He's been through it. He's Irish. He's got some shady friends.
In this one, his Hollywood past comes home to roost when he gets caught up in some detecting for Jack Donovan - local boy made good as big Hollywood director. Only his muse extras (girls of a certain type) have gone missing.
Circumstances remind Loy of similar missing girls related to the Donovan sets 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, we end up with some stereotypical bad guy moves and plot twists, saved only by the strong characterization of Loy himself.
