The New York Times–bestselling author delivers another "smart, noirish mystery" featuring LA's toughest bouncer, "clever dialogue and vivid characters" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Known on the street as Crush, Caleb Rush is LA's toughest bodyguard and bouncer. Given his line of work, he's no stranger to reckless behavior. So when his honorary brother Zerbe is kidnapped, Crush doesn't hesitate to go after him. But going up against Zerbe's kidnappers isn't just reckless—it's damn near suicidal. Crush and Zerbe's history goes back to traumatic family events they'd both rather forget. Too bad Zerbe's abduction is bringing it all back. The trail takes Crush to Zerbe's estranged billionaire father—a man obsessed with building California's long-promised bullet train—as well as to Pasadena's famed Rose Parade along Colorado Boulevard, where Crush once witnessed the most horrifying event of his young life. Between a haunting past, hit men with bombs, and plenty of blows to the head, Crush is in for one hell of a ride in this "oddball, thoroughly entertaining plot" (Kirkus Reviews). This third installment in the series follows Crush and Heart Attack and Vine, both of which were Kirkus Reviews Best Mysteries of the Year.
