Double Solitaire by Craig Nova
A tantalising LA Novel by Legendary American Writer, Craig Nova, for fans of Michael Connelly and James Ellroy. Quinn Farrell is a modern-day fixer in Los Angeles - he cleans up other people's messes. Rich people's messes. For a lotof money. He's so good that he's become indispensable to Hollywood moguls and he's managed to construct a working moral framework so that he can live with himself. That is until a new neighbour moves next door, Rose Marie, who works with terminally ill teens. Against all his survival instincts, Farrell falls in love with Rose Marie and then her uncanny patients, who shine a spotlight into his soul. When a client steps over the line and Farrell is hired to clean up after a reprehensible crime, his carefully constructed ethical house of cards comes crashing down. DoubleSolitaireis the first in a series of LA-based thrillers featuring Quinn Farrell,.
