Red Is For Blood John Devin, Pi Book 1 (volume 1) [Paperback]

It's Christmas. 1929. Los Angeles. John Devin, ex-Marine and current PI, sits at his bar stool nursing a whisky and cracked ribs. Then a buddy walks in. Out of the blue. Like fate brought him in.? The buddys request: keep him alive until he sells a certain diamond. But that diamond leads Devin on a chase through LA that eventually leads to Chinatown and the leader of its underworld, a man with a hidden secret. Sometimes people are brought together for a reason. And sometimes that reason, is to die. If you like your detectives hardboiled and with attitude, with a strong sense of right, and characters you want to spend time with, grab Red Is For Blood. Then join Devin as he solves his way through the amazing 1930s - the most dangerous, glittering, low-life time in Los Angeles crime filled history.
