In hindsight I think we should have stayed in Boston.

Thought you always wanted to be Mr. Hollywood.

Larry Unger looked at McNulty. Do you know how much they charge for location services in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles, California

Titanic Productions has moved to Hollywood but the producer’s problems don’t stop with the cost of location services. When McNulty finds a runaway girl hiding at the Hollywood Boulevard location during a night shoot it brings back memories of his life in Crag View Orphanage.

Praise for the books by Colin Campbell:

Very real. And very good. -Lee Child

There’s nothing soft about Campbell’s writing. If you enjoy your crime fiction hard-boiled, the Jim Grant series is a must read. -Bruce Robert Coffin, author of the Detective Byron series

A cop with a sharp eye, keen mind, and a lion’s heart. -Reed Farrel Coleman

Campbell writes smart, rollercoaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity. -Nick Petrie

Grim and gritty and packed with action. -Kirkus Review

The pages fly like the bullets, fistfights and one-liners that make this one of my favourite books of the year. Top stuff! -Matt Hilton

An excellent story well told. A mixture of The Choirboys meets Harry Bosch. -Michael Jecks

Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Its smart structure and unrelenting suspense will please Lee Child fans. -Library Journal Review

This is police procedural close-up and personal. A strong debut with enough gritty realism to make your eyes water, and a few savage laughs along the way. -Reginald Hill
