Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

Sunset Boulevard, the almost mythical street that runs from downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean, is the setting for all of the stories in this anthology by members of the L.A. chapter of Sisters in Crime. Each story is set in a different neighborhood, providing an overview of the city. Beginning with Dana Kouba's "Closing Time," set in a downtown, working-class bar, and continuing west through Echo Park, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills to the exclusive Malibu estates, the stories are full of hopeful future stars, arrogant directors, lawyers, and police detectives. There is even a cameo appearance by Philip Marlowe. Paul D. Marks writes "L.A. Late @ Night" as a screenplay, while Gabriella Diamond offers the ultimate in irony and revenge in "Black and Red and Dead All Over." Short story fans will enjoy this trip down Sunset Boulevard.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read on a Rainy Night - or any other night, Dec 2 2002
By "razorsedge1111" (Silverlake, CA) - See all my reviews
A fun - if one can say that about murder - selection of stories set along or near the famous Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. As the book progresses through the various stories, we head from Sunset's origins at Union Station in downtown L.A. toward its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. Especially notable are Dale Furutani's "Extreme Prejudice," about more than one kind of "extreme" prejudice in Los Angeles' Silverlake district, "Three Killings and a Favor," by Joan Wates, about a hitman with a heart and a favor to spare, and Paul D. Marks' "L.A. Late @ Night," a story that uses Sunset Boulevard itself as a major character in a tale about a defense attorney's regret and redemption. The other stories vary in quality and in their use of Sunset, some hardly mentioning it, others giving it more time and space. But all in all a good collection for mystery lovers.
