The novel follows Mae Pruett, a crisis PR expert who specializes in cleaning up the messes of the rich and famous. When her boss is murdered, Mae finds herself drawn into a dangerous investigation that reveals a web of secrets, lies, and corruption. Mae teams up with her ex-boyfriend, Chris, a former police officer who now works for the same shadowy organization. Together, they navigate a world of blackmail, drug deals, and human trafficking.  Harper's gritty neo noir gumshoe novel delves deep into the LA underbelly and reminds of LA Confidential.  A modern masterpiece.
