It has become nothing less than a peculiarly American art form, a chronicle of the deterioration of what Scott Fitzgerald called the last and greatest of all human dreams. L.A.'s cops and killers and the streets they troll have attracted the very best American crime writers. People like Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, James Ellroy, Joseph Wambaugh, Walter Mosley, and Michael Connelly. To that list, you now need to add one more name: Danny Smith. Nobody has ever written the L.A. cop novel better than Danny Smith does. Nobody. Ever.\u003c\/i\u003e - Jake Needham, author of the Mean Streets Crime NovelsProfessional Review\u003ci\u003eTerrific story and characters. I enjoyed meeting Dickie and Josie and watching their interaction. The story itself is compelling and kept me wanting to turn the pages to find out what happens next. Your voice and writing style are succinct and on-point. I never felt as though you were too wordy, or just putting in filler to round out the story. You make each word count, which is so important in books of this genre. You manage to perfectly keep the pacing and tension, and your expertise in the subject matter shines through in a very accessible way for the reader. Although your story would be considered a police procedural, I never felt as though you were overdoing the descriptions. You give enough information to add believability to your plot and to your characters. The plot itself was interesting enough to keep my interest. Great job  I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.\u003c\/i\u003e - Judge, 8th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390416032017,"sku":"CIN1734979410A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390419669265,"sku":"CIN1734979410G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51167273845009,"sku":"NIN9781734979411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52652696895761,"sku":"GOR014577312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1734979410.jpg?v=1750766203"},{"product_id":"echo-killers-book-danny-r-smith-9781732280953","title":"Echo Killers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390520856849,"sku":"CIN1732280959G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51048643625233,"sku":"NIN9781732280953","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1732280959.jpg?v=1750994152"},{"product_id":"color-dead-book-danny-r-smith-9781732280960","title":"The Color Dead","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf this book does not get your pulse pounding, have someone call the paramedics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetective Josefina Sanchez has been taken.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe and her partner, Dickie, had been sent to Gorman, a remote northern outpost in Los Angeles County, where a man had been executed in the woods.

And not just any \"cops,\" but the one who sent him to prison twice and shot him once in the process: L.A. Sheriff's Homicide Detective Josefina Sanchez.

Prada has no choice but to run, but it isn't only the cops who are searching for him-someone else wants him dead.
