An elusive woman with a hidden past holds the secret that can bring down a hot Hollywood producer along with the owner of a major aircraft plant. A former tong courtesan who fled Los Angeles for China, loses her thriving business and faces death as the Japanese attack Nanjing. A Central Ave. piano player is tasked by Federal Agents to find a woman who may hold the secret to a fifteen-year-old incident known as the “Point Magu Massacre.” Nothing is what it appears to be in the City of Angeles, a place where deals are made and a best friend could be deadlier than any enemy.

“A riveting saga that skillfully exposes, with an insider’s knowledge, the corruption and irresistible power of the California Dream” —Dennis M. Clausen, author of Prairie Son.
